If coach bartlett issued each of his 21 players 13 pairs of athletic socks. how many pairs was that in total?

Hey there!

This is a simple multiplication problem.

If each player gets 13 pairs of socks, and there are 21 players, we multiply 13 by 21.

The problem 13 x 21 can be split up into four smaller and easier problems to look like this:

(10 x 20) + (10 x 1) + (3 x 20) + (3 x 1)

13 can be split up into 10 and 13, while 21 gets split up into 20 and 1.

Multiply each together.

200 + 10 + 60 + 3

Add the numbers together.

273

In total, there are 273 pairs of socks.

Hope this helps!
