Question

Lynn wants to multiply 44×305 . She says that all she has to do is find 4×305 and then double that number. Which explains whether or not Lynn's method will give her the correct answer? (1 point) Responses Lynn's method will give her the correct answer. Multiplying by 4 and then doubling the product is the same as multiplying by 44. Lynn's method will give her the correct answer. Multiplying by 4 and then doubling the product is the same as multiplying by 44. Lynn's method will not give her the correct answer. Multiplying by 4 and then doubling the product is the same as multiplying by 6, not by 44. Lynn's method will not give her the correct answer. Multiplying by 4 and then doubling the product is the same as multiplying by 6, not by 44. Lynn's method will not give her the correct answer. Multiplying by 4 and then doubling the product is the same as multiplying by 8, not by 44. Lynn's method will not give her the correct answer. Multiplying by 4 and then doubling the product is the same as multiplying by 8, not by 44. Lynn's method will not give her the correct answer. Multiplying by 4 and then doubling the product is the same as multiplying by 16, not by 44. Lynn's method will not give her the correct answer. Multiplying by 4 and then doubling the product is the same as multiplying by 16, not by 44.

Answer 1

Lynn's method will not give her the correct answer. Multiplying by 4 and then doubling the product is the same as multiplying by 8, not by 44.

To clarify:

• If Lynn calculates \(4 \times 305\) and then doubles it, she is effectively performing \(4 \times 305 \times 2\), which simplifies to \(8 \times 305\).
• The correct multiplication \(44 \times 305\) can be broken down as \(4 \times 10 \times 305\). This is different from \(8 \times 305\).

Therefore, her method does not yield the correct product for \(44 \times 305\).
