Daniela Greene · Answer 1

Since there are 8 boats (2 yachts + 6 barges) the three partial products would be as follows:

100 * 8

20 * 8

6 * 8

These are from taking the gallons of fuel for each boat that are needed and breaking it into the place values.

(100*8) + (20 * 8) + (6*8) =

800+160+48=

1008 gallons of fuel are needed.
