Answer 1

To solve this problem you must apply the procedure shown below:
 1. The first answer is: $4$
 When you multiply the hundreth $2$ by $37$, you obtain $74$.
 2. The second answer is:$4$
 The next step in this operation is to write a zero under the $4$ that belongs to $74$, as you can see in the picture, Then, when you multiply the tenth $4$ by $37$, you obtain $148$.
