Using place value to solve Multiplication problems

Today I was learning to use place value for multiplication problems and solve them easily.
I solved them by breaking them up into easier numbers and times them to get my answer.
I found it confusing at the start but I got the hang of it

Here's an example

54 x 3 = 162

50 x 3 = 150 and

4 x 3 = 12 so

150 + 12 = 162
