    Explanation: Calculate \(789 \times 7 = 5,523\) and \(789 \times 10 = 7,890\). Adding them together: \(5,523 + 7,890 = 13,413\).

    Therefore, the correct option is B.

  5. Multiple Factors: Evaluate: \[5 \times 6 \times 3 = ?\]
    1. \(18\)
    2. \(15\)
    3. \(30\)
    4. \(90\)
    View Step-by-Step Solution

    Problem: \(5 \times 6 \times 3\)

    Explanation: Multiply sequentially: \(5 \times 6 = 30\), then \(30 \times 3 = 90\).

    Therefore, the correct option is D.

  6. Multiplying by Powers of 10: Evaluate: \[124 \times 100 = ?\]
    1. \(1,240\)
    2. \(12,400\)
    3. \(1,200\)
    4. \(1,000\)
    View Step-by-Step Solution

    Problem: \(124 \times 100\)

    Explanation: Multiplying a whole number by 100 appends two zeros to the end of the number, resulting in \(12,400\).

    Therefore, the correct option is B.

  7. Multiplication Identity: Evaluate: \[145 \times 1 = ?\]
    1. \(1\)
    2. \(0\)
    3. \(145\)
    4. cannot find answer
    View Step-by-Step Solution

    Problem: \(145 \times 1\)

    Explanation: Any number multiplied by 1 remains equal to itself.

    Therefore, the correct option is C.

  8. Word Problem: There are 61 boxes of pencils in a store. There are 14 pencils in each box. How many pencils are in the store?
    1. \(854\)
    2. \(4\)
    3. \(75\)
    4. \(47\)
    View Step-by-Step Solution

    Problem: Total pencils in 61 boxes with 14 pencils each.

    Explanation: Multiply the number of boxes by pencils per box: \(61 \times 14 = 854\).

    Therefore, the correct option is A.

  9. Word Problem: There are 24 hours in one day, and 3,600 seconds in one hour. How many seconds are in one day?
    1. \(7,000\)
    2. \(864\)
    3. \(72,000\)
    4. \(86,400\)
    View Step-by-Step Solution

    Problem: Seconds in a day given 24 hours/day and 3,600 seconds/hour.

    Explanation: Multiply hours per day by seconds per hour: \(24 \times 3600 = 86,400\).

    Therefore, the correct option is D.

  10. Word Problem Setup: Julia read a book in 20 days. She read 16 pages every day for the first 15 days, and 18 pages everyday for the last 5 days. Which expression do you use to find how many pages Julia read?
    1. \(16 + 18\)
    2. \(15 \times 16 + 5 \times 18\)
    3. \(20 \times 16\)
    4. \(18 \times 5\)
    View Step-by-Step Solution

    Problem: Expression for total pages read.

    Explanation: Pages read in the first 15 days is \(15 \times 16\), and pages read in the last 5 days is \(5 \times 18\). Adding both gives \(15 \times 16 + 5 \times 18\).

    Therefore, the correct option is B.

  11. Algebraic Equation: What is n if \(9 \times n = 108\)?
    1. \(22\)
    2. \(15\)
    3. \(12\)
    4. \(13\)
    View Step-by-Step Solution

    Problem: Solve for \(n\) in \(9 \times n = 108\)

    Explanation: Divide 108 by 9: \(n = 108 \div 9 = 12\).

    Therefore, the correct option is C.

  12. Algebraic Equation: What is S if 6 × 4 = 3 × S?
    1. \(8\)
    2. \(6\)
    3. \(4\)
    4. \(24\)
    View Step-by-Step Solution

    Problem: Solve for \(S\) in \(6 \times 4 = 3 \times S\)

    Explanation: Evaluate the left side: \(6 \times 4 = 24\). Then \(3 \times S = 24\), so \(S = 24 \div 3 = 8\).

    Therefore, the correct option is A.
