Conner and Jana are multiplying (3568)(39610).


Conner's Work	Jana's Work
(3568)(39610) = 35 + 968 + 10 = 314618	(3568)(39610) = 35⋅968⋅10 = 345680

Is either of them correct? Explain your reasoning.

caominhim · Answer

i'm really not sure where to even start with this problem.  They are wrong, that's clear.  What they are doing makes no sense and the numbers are senselessly generated.  Just say no they're wrong and do some math to show the correct answer.
