Q:

Which statement and explanation about the product of a 3-digit number and a 2-digit number is correct? A. The product always has 4 digits. The least 3-digit number is 100, and the least 2-digit number is 10. The product of 100 and 10 has 4 digits, so any product of a 3-digit and a 2-digit number must have 4 digits. B. The greatest number of digits in the product is 6. The greatest 3-digit number is 999, and the greatest 2-digit number is 99. The product of 3 digits and 2 digits equals 6 digits, so no product of a 3-digit and a 2-digit number can have more digits. C. The product always has 5 digits. The greatest 3-digit number is 999, and the greatest 2-digit number is 99. The product of 999 and 99 has 5 digits, so any product of a 3-digit and a 2-digit number must have 5 digits. D. The greatest number of digits in the product is 5. The greatest 3-digit number is 999, and the greatest 2-digit number is 99. The product of 999 and 99 has 5 digits, so no product of a 3-digit and a 2-digit number can have more digits.

Accepted Solution
