Math problem fifth grade

Question

2 more than the product of 8 and 4

Answer 1

So the question asks us to multiply first as it's asking to add to the product.

8 * 4 = 32. Can be solved in a few different ways if the straight multiplication is hard to remember:

Breaking down the 4 into the factors:

8 * 2 + 8 * 2 → 16 + 16 = 32

Going to 5 because that's easier to remember, then subtracting from that:

8 * 5 = 40, 40 - 8 = 32

Anyways, we now have 32. Now you just need to add 2 to that:

32 + 2 = 34
