Alright, let’s talk about this 807×9 thing. I ain’t no fancy teacher or nothin’, but I can figure this stuff out, ya know? It’s just plain ol’ multiplyin’, like when you’re countin’ how many eggs you got if you got 9 chickens and each laid 807 eggs… though I ain’t never seen no chicken lay that many, mind you.
So, 807 times 9. You can do it the long way, like we used to do in school. You know, write it all out. You start with the 9 times the 7. That’s 63, right? So you put down the 3 and carry the 6, just like you’re carryin’ eggs in your apron.
- First, 9 times 7 is 63. Write down 3, carry-over 6.
- Next, 9 times 0 is 0. But you gotta add that 6 you carried over, so now you got 6. Write down 6.
- Last, 9 times 8 is 72. Write down 72.
So, you put it all together and you get 7263. See? Not so hard. That’s your answer. 807 times 9 is 7263.
Now, some folks, they like to use them machines to do this stuff. Calculators, they call ‘em. Well, I reckon that’s fine if you got one, but I always say it’s good to know how to do it yourself. What if the power goes out? Or what if you drop that fancy calculator in the well? Then what? You gonna be stuck with your eggs all uncounted?
And let me tell ya, multiplyin’ ain’t just for eggs and such. You use it all the time. Figurin’ out how much lumber you need for a fence, how much yarn to knit a blanket… it goes on and on. It’s just good sense to know your numbers.
Some people even use this big number stuff for fancy things, like figurin’ out how much weight a fella can lift. I heard tell of this fella, strong as an ox, liftin’ somethin’ crazy heavy, like 807 pounds! Imagine that! Now, I ain’t sayin’ he lifted it nine times, but if he did, well, we’d know how to figure out how much that is, wouldn’t we?
And then there’s those little rubber rings, they call ‘em O-rings. I seen ‘em at the hardware store. They got numbers too, like 807×9! Now, I don’t rightly know what all that means, but it just goes to show ya, numbers are everywhere. You can’t get away from ‘em, so you might as well learn ‘em.
Anyways, back to our multiplyin’. You can even break it down if 807 seems too big. Think of it like this: 800 times 9 is 7200, right? And 7 times 9 is 63. Add them together, and what do ya get? 7263! Same answer. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, as they say, and there’s more than one way to do your multiplyin’.
So don’t go gettin’ all flustered by big numbers. Just take it slow, break it down, and you’ll figure it out. Just like countin’ your eggs, or measurin’ your cloth, or figurin’ out how much fence you need to keep them pesky rabbits outta your garden. It’s all just numbers, plain and simple. And 807 times 9 is 7263. Don’t you forget it!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens. Hope they ain’t laid 807 eggs each, or I’ll be countin’ all day!
