2. Draw an area model to represent \( 30 \times 00 \)

To represent \( 30 \times 00 \) using an area model, we can break down the numbers into their components. 1. **Break down the numbers**: - \( 30 \) can be broken down into \( 30 = 3 \times 10 \). - \( 00 \) is simply \( 0 \). 2. **Set up the area model**: - Create a rectangle where one side represents \( 30 \) and the other side represents \( 00 \). - Since \( 00 \) is \( 0 \), the length of that side will be \( 0 \). 3. **Draw the area model**: - Draw a rectangle with one side labeled \( 30 \) and the other side labeled \( 0 \). - Since one side is \( 0 \), the area of the rectangle will be \( 30 \times 0 = 0 \). The area model visually shows that any number multiplied by \( 0 \) results in an area of \( 0 \). Thus, the area model confirms that \( 30 \times 00 = 0 \). In summary, the area model for \( 30 \times 00 \) is a rectangle with one dimension being \( 30 \) and the other dimension being \( 0 \), resulting in an area of \( 0 \).
