Three students used different strategies to solve the problem 56 x 8 = . Each of their strategies is listed below:

Carlito's strategy: I multiplied fifty times eight, then multiplied six times eight, and then added the two products together.

Suzy's strategy: I multiplied fifty-six times two, then multiplied fifty-six times five, and then added the two products together.

Nina's strategy: I knew that fifty-six is the same as eight times seven. So, I multiplied eight times eight and then multiplied that product by 7.

Which student's strategy is NOT correct? Why?

• Carlito is correct.

  50 x 8 = 400

  6 x 8 = 48

  400 + 48 = ?

• Suzy is correct.

  56 x 2 = 112

  56 x 5 = 280

  112 + 280 = ?

• Nina is correct.

  8 x 7 = 56
