A factory makes $2,305$ widgets each hour for $7$ hours. How many widgets are made in all?​

14,035 widgets

2,312 widgets

16,105 widgets

16,135 widgets

Explanation

This question tests 4th grade ability to multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and properties of operations (CCSS.4.NBT.5). Multiplication can be understood using place value strategies like the partial products method, where you break numbers into place values (456 = 400 + 50 + 6), multiply each part separately, then add. For 2-digit × 2-digit, you can use the standard algorithm (multiply by ones digit, then tens digit, aligning by place value) or an area model (break rectangle into smaller sections). Visual models like rectangular arrays and area models help show how multiplication works by organizing quantities into rows and columns or length and width. To find total widgets as 2,305 × 7, students can use the standard algorithm with regrouping or break into partial products by place value, demonstrating understanding of place value in multiplication. Choice A is correct because using the standard algorithm: 5 × 7 = 35 (write 5, carry 3), 0 × 7 = 0 + 3 = 3 (write 3), 3 × 7 = 21 (write 1, carry 2), 2 × 7 = 14 + 2 = 16 (write 16), resulting in 16,135. This demonstrates fluent multiplication using place value understanding. Choice B represents a carrying error in the hundreds place, which happens when students forget to add the carried amount. To help students: Use graph paper to align place values in standard algorithm. For partial products, explicitly break numbers by place value (2,305 = 2,000 + 300 + 5) and multiply each part, labeling (2,000 × 7 = 14,000, 300 × 7 = 2,100, 5 × 7 = 35, sum = 16,135). Ensure students understand multiplication as repeated addition or equal groups. Watch for: not carrying in standard algorithm, adding factors instead of multiplying, forgetting to add all partial products, misaligning place values, and weak basic multiplication facts preventing fluency.
