Other Ways to Solve:
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom aligned to the right
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||
2. Multiply the numbers using long multiplication method
Start by multiplying the ones digit (2) of the multiplier 2 by each digit of the multiplicand 5,500, from right to left.
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the ones place value:
2×0=0
Write 0 in the ones place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||
| 0 |
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the tens place value:
2×0=0
Write 0 in the tens place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||
| 0 | 0 |
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the hundreds place value:
2×5=10
Write 0 in the hundreds place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 1 to the thousands place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | |||||
| 5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the thousands place value and add the carried number (1):
2×5+1=11
Write 1 in the thousands place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 1 to the ten thousands place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 1 | ||||
| 5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The solution is: 11,000
