Describe two different ways that you could find the product 8 times 997 using mental math. find the product and explain why your methods work

First in your head multiply 8 by 7. this equals 56. now multiply 8 by 9 twice since there is two 9's. now you have two 72's. Add the 2's together from both 72's. now your numbers are 70, 70, 56 and 4. Add the four to your 5 which is now 96. split 96 between the 70's. not dividing just the two numbers. now you have 79, and 76. put together your numbers and your answer is 7976.

Step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
