60 is six tens.
A number times 60 is that number of six tens.
You have 3 trays of chips. Each tray holds 4 tens. Look at those 12 chips — they are 12 tens, not 12 ones.
Counting all 120 from 1 works, but it is slow, and a skipped chip spoils the total.
Each tray holds the same 4 tens, so 3 trays are 3 equal groups rather than a pile of 120.
12 tens is 120 because each ten is worth 10, and 12 of them sit in the tens place.
When the groups hold tens, multiply the groups by the tens, then say what those tens are worth.
Multiplying 3 by 4 and writing 12, as if the 4 tens were 4 chips.
The 12 you get are tens, so 12 tens is 120.
2 × 30 = ___ — 60. 2 × 3 = 6, and 6 tens are 60.
What is three times sixty?
Let's remember: sixty is the same as six tens.
So three times sixty means three groups of six tens — that's three groups of sixty.
First, let's solve the easy fact hiding inside: three times six.
Three times six is eighteen.
Sixty has one more zero than six, so our answer needs one more zero too — we multiply eighteen by ten.
Eighteen times ten is one hundred eighty.
So three times sixty equals one hundred eighty!
