        The following tips can help you solve the multiplication questions in the remaining rounds.
        <br>
        <b>When solving the multiplication questions, simplify solving the question by eliminating the wrong answers.</b>
        <br>
        <br>
        <p class="lead">
        1. You can eliminate wrong answers by multiplying the last digit of each number.
        </p>



        <br>
        <div class="card bg-light mb-3" style="max-width: 35rem;">
  <div class="card-header">Example:</div>
  <div class="card-body">
    <h5 class="card-title">35<u>5</u> x 4<u>1</u> = ?</h5>
    <p class="card-text">
        a.	14,17<u>1</u><br>
        b. 14,35<u>1</u><br>
        c. 14,27<u>7</u><br>
        d. 14,55<u>5</u><br>
        e. 14,04<u>5</u>


<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
      <ul>
  <li>Multiply the last digit in each number (1 x 5 = <u>5</u>)</li>
          <li><u>Eliminate</u> answer choices that <u>do not</u> end in 5 (a, b, and c)</li>
</ul>

    </p>

        2.	You can eliminate wrong answers by rounding and adjusting.
        </p>
<br>


          <div class="card bg-light mb-3" style="max-width: 45rem;">
  <div class="card-header">Example:</div>
  <div class="card-body">
    <h5 class="card-title">355 x 41 = ?</h5>
    <p class="card-text">
        a. 14,171<br>
        b. 14,351<br>
        c. 14,277<br>
        d. 14,555<br>
        e. 14,045


<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
      <ul>
  <li> Round 41 down to 40. Drop the zero. </li>
  <li> Multiply 355 x 4 = 1,420. Add the zero back: 14,200</li>
<li> Since you rounded <b><u>down</b></u>, the correct answer must be <b><u>greater</b></u> than 14,200.</li>
          <li> Answers a, b, and c are already eliminated from tip 1. </li>
    <li>Answer e (14,045) is less than 14,200, leaving <u>d</u> as the last remaining choice. </li>
</ul>

    </p>
  </div>
</div>

        <br>
        <br>
    Using these two tips, solving by elimination would leave <b>d</b> as the only possible answer.<br>
    Therefore, <b>355 x 41 = 14,555</b>
        <br>
        <br>
        Good luck!
