16 × 9 =
Solution
When multiplying by 9, subtract your digit by 1 to get the tens digit.
So 6 - 1 = 5.
The sum of the digits in your answer adds up to 9. So if the tens digit is 5, then the ones digit is 9 - 5 = 4.
Therefore, your answer is 54

Alternate strategy: When multiplying by 9, just multiply by 10 and subtract the number. In this case, we have
6 × 9 =
6 × 10 - 6 =
60 - 6 =
54

Alternate strategy: Put both hands in front of you with all 10 fingers out. Take finger #6 and curl it. You'll see 5 fingers to your left and 4 fingers to your right. See how this gives you the answer of 54?

29 × 8 =
Solution
When multiplying by 9, subtract your digit by 1 to get the tens digit.
So 8 - 1 = 7.
The sum of the digits in your answer adds up to 9. So if the tens digit is 7, then the ones digit is 9 - 7 = 2.
Therefore, your answer is 72

Alternate strategy: When multiplying by 9, just multiply by 10 and subtract the number. In this case, we have
8 × 9 =
8 × 10 - 8 =
80 - 8 =
72

Alternate strategy: Put both hands in front of you with all 10 fingers out. Take finger #8 and curl it. You'll see 7 fingers to your left and 2 fingers to your right. See how this gives you the answer of 72?
