To solve the problem [tex]$10 \times 2$[/tex] tens, we follow these steps:
1. Identify the values involved in the multiplication:
- First number is [tex]\(10\)[/tex].
- Second number is [tex]\(2\)[/tex].
2. Perform the multiplication of these two values:
- [tex]\(10 \times 2 = 20\)[/tex].
3. Since the problem deals with tens, the final result should be expressed in tens:
- Therefore, [tex]\(10 \times 2\)[/tex] tens [tex]\(= 20\)[/tex] tens.
So, the completed statement is:
[tex]\[ 10 \times 2 \text{ tens } = 20 \text{ tens} \][/tex]
Fill in the blank:
[tex]\[ 10 \times 2 \text{ tens } = \quad 20 \quad \text{ tens} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 20 \][/tex]
