Question

Ella has 50 stacks of ten pennies in each stack. Describe how to find how many pennies Ella has in all.

Answer 1

You multiply 50 times 10 which all you are doing is adding a zero to 50 and you get 500

Answer 2

50 • 10 = 500

Ten times the fifty stacks of pennies will equal to 500, the amount Ella has.

To find this problem, Ella has to multiply the 50 stacks of pennies to the 10 in each stack.
