Key points :

🎯 What Does It Mean?

Multiplying a 1-digit number (like 2, 3, 5, 7) by a 2-digit number (like 12, 25, 48) means repeated addition.

Example:
3 × 24 = 24 + 24 + 24 ✅

🧠 Steps to Multiply (Simple Method)

✏️ 1. Multiply Ones Place First

• Multiply the ones digit of the 2-digit number by the 1-digit number
  Example:
  3 × 27
  Step 1: 3 × 7 = 21 → write 1, carry 2

✏️ 2. Multiply Tens Place

• Multiply the tens digit with the 1-digit number and add the carry
  Step 2: 3 × 2 = 6
  6 + 2 (carry) = 8

✅ Final Answer: 81

So, 3 × 27 = 81
