🔢 Multiplication: 2-digit × 1-digit

To multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number, multiply the ones first, then the tens, and add the results.
Example: 23 × 3 → 3 × 3 ones = 9 ones, and 3 × 2 tens = 6 tens (60). So 60 + 9 = 69.

When the ones multiply to 10 or more, we carry the tens, just like in addition.
Example: 27 × 4 → 4 × 7 = 28, write 8 and carry 2. Then 4 × 2 tens = 8 tens, plus the carried 2 = 10 tens. So the answer is 108.
In a word problem, 'each', 'every' and 'times' usually mean multiply.
