I am not sure how to help my 3rd grader on this one filling in what they are looking for as it doesn't make sense to me. Using place value to find the product. I know one way but not how they are asking for here.

6 x 40 = 6 x ____ tens - I know it would be 4 in the space here
= ____ tens = ____ - have no idea what they would be looking for

4 answers

6 times 40 = 240 = 24 tens
