Three Times a Guest: Recollections of Japan and the Japanese, 1942-69

Product Information

Multiply as above, but this time write your answers in a new row, shifted one digit place to the left.

Arrange the numbers one on top of the other and line up the place values in columns. The number with the most digits is usually placed on top as the multiplicand.

Similarly, fractions with denominators that are powers of 10 (or can be converted to powers of 10) can be translated to decimal form using the same principles. Take the fraction 1 FUNAI patrols 54,000 square miles of remote territory, an area more than three times the size of Switzerland Do you know what it's like to have triplets? It's just everything times three: three pairs of grubby little hands, smearing food all over your brand new Chihuahua outfits; three pairs of feet in their weird, soft little shoes; three pairs of eyes, brown, like my husband's. Long multiplication means you're doing multiplication by hand. The traditional method, or Standard Algorithm, involves multiplying numbers and lining up results according to place value. These are the steps to do long multiplication by hand:

Full of colour and beautiful illustrations, these resources are visually stimulating, and they’re guaranteed to keep pupils focused on the task at hand. What’s more, they feature a variety of exciting tasks and challenges for pupils to complete. Pupils can colour by multiples of three, solve sums to reveal a hidden picture, or even play a fun game of bingo.

Unlike adding and subtracting integers such as 2 and 8, fractions require a common denominator to undergo these operations. One method for finding a common denominator involves multiplying the numerators and denominators of all of the fractions involved by the product of the denominators of each fraction. Multiplying all of the denominators ensures that the new denominator is certain to be a multiple of each individual denominator. The numerators also need to be multiplied by the appropriate factors to preserve the value of the fraction as a whole. This is arguably the simplest way to ensure that the fractions have a common denominator. However, in most cases, the solutions to these equations will not appear in simplified form (the provided calculator computes the simplification automatically). Below is an example using this method. a TL;DR: Sometimes, in "A times B", the "times B" part is considered to be a single unit, other times it's the "A times". Both readings are possible and productive, and often enough, you can even use them completely interchangeably without restructuring anything. You can patrol an area three times the size of Switzerland, and you can patrol an area the size of Switzerland times three.
