mal to the nearest hundredth.

The Problems
Take a look at the following problems and follow along as they are explained in the video.
1 2 3 4 84 85 86
6. What is the value of the sum + + + + + + + ?
87 87 87 87 87 87 87

8. What is the value of 55 × 33 – 15?


Piece It Together
Use the skills you practiced in the warm-up and strategies from the video to solve the following problems.

9. What is 12 × 37 + 12 × 7 + 12 × 6?

10. What is the value of 2 × 63 + 62 − 7 × 62?

11. Audra adds the numbers 2018 and 22, then multiplies the result by 2 and assigns this value to a.
Beto multiplies the numbers 2018 and 2, then adds 22 to the result and assigns this value to b.
What is the value of a − b?

12. What is the value of (1 + 3 + 5 + … + 2017) − (2 + 4 + 6 + … + 2016)?

13. What is the greatest prime factor of 37 − 27?


Optional Extension
To extend your understanding and have a little fun with math, try the following activities.

Option 1
When asked to multiply two multi-digit numbers without a calculator, many people instinctively com-
pute the value using the standard algorithm—multiplying each digit from one number by each digit from
the other number, systematically, and adding up the products. For example:
34
×12
68
+340
3780
Can you explain or prove, using properties of multiplication, why this algorithm works? Can you write
a general statement or proof for multiplying two arbitrary two-digit numbers AB and CD where A, B, C
and D represent digits and A and C are not zero?

Option 2
Using factoring, find the value of the following expression:
2017 2  11(2017)  42
2014
