Let's solve this Christmas Multiplication worksheet step by step.

Step 1: Solve each multiplication problem using column multiplication

We'll calculate each of the given multiplications:

---

1. S:
$$
88 \times 7 = ?
$$
$$
88 \times 7 = (80 \times 7) + (8 \times 7) = 560 + 56 = 616
$$
✔ 616

2. E:
$$
74 \times 5 = ?
$$
$$
74 \times 5 = (70 \times 5) + (4 \times 5) = 350 + 20 = 370
$$
✔ 370

3. L:
$$
63 \times 9 = ?
$$
$$
63 \times 9 = (60 \times 9) + (3 \times 9) = 540 + 27 = 567
$$
✔ 567

4. O:
$$
67 \times 9 = ?
$$
$$
67 \times 9 = (60 \times 9) + (7 \times 9) = 540 + 63 = 603
$$
✔ 603

5. U:
$$
26 \times 7 = ?
$$
$$
26 \times 7 = (20 \times 7) + (6 \times 7) = 140 + 42 = 182
$$
✔ 182

6. Y:
$$
94 \times 6 = ?
$$
$$
94 \times 6 = (90 \times 6) + (4 \times 6) = 540 + 24 = 564
$$
✔ 564

7. T:
$$
29 \times 8 = ?
$$
$$
29 \times 8 = (20 \times 8) + (9 \times 8) = 160 + 72 = 232
$$
✔ 232

8. M:
$$
38 \times 6 = ?
$$
$$
38 \times 6 = (30 \times 6) + (8 \times 6) = 180 + 48 = 228
$$
✔ 228

9. C:
$$
65 \times 4 = ?
$$
$$
65 \times 4 = (60 \times 4) + (5 \times 4) = 240 + 20 = 260
$$
✔ 260

10. R:
$$
64 \times 3 = ?
$$
$$
64 \times 3 = (60 \times 3) + (4 \times 3) = 180 + 12 = 192
$$
✔ 192

11. A:
$$
92 \times 6 = ?
$$
$$
92 \times 6 = (90 \times 6) + (2 \times 6) = 540 + 12 = 552
$$
✔ 552

12. D:
$$
44 \times 8 = ?
$$
$$
44 \times 8 = (40 \times 8) + (4 \times 8) = 320 + 32 = 352
$$
✔ 352

Step 2: Match the answers to the letters

Now we list each letter with its product:

- S → 616
- E → 370
- L → 567
- O → 603
- U → 182
- Y → 564
- T → 232
- M → 228
- C → 260
- R → 192
- A → 552
- D → 352

---

Step 3: Use the answer key at the bottom

The riddle says:
"What did one snowman say to the other?"

Below, there is a sequence of numbers:

```
352 603 564 603 182 616 228 370 567 567
260 552 192 192 603 232 616
```

But only the first row has question marks and seems to be the clue.

Wait — actually, the layout shows two rows of numbers. Let’s interpret it carefully.

Looking closely, it seems like the first row is the code for the joke, and the second row might be extra or a hint.

But the real clue is that the answer to the joke is hidden in the numbers, and we need to match the numbers to letters.

So let’s go through the number sequence:

First row:
352, 603, 564, 603, 182, 616, 228, 370, 567, 567

Now, match each number to its corresponding letter:

- 352 → D
- 603 → O
- 564 → Y
- 603 → O
- 182 → U
- 616 → S
- 228 → M
- 370 → E
- 567 → L
- 567 → L

So the sequence becomes:

D O Y O U S M E L L

That’s not quite right. Wait — maybe we’re missing something.

Wait! Let’s look again at the second row:

Second row:
260, 552, 192, 192, 603, 232, 616

Let’s decode those too:

- 260 → C
- 552 → A
- 192 → R
- 192 → R
- 603 → O
- 232 → T
- 616 → S

So: C A R R O T S

Ah! That looks promising.

But wait — the first row gave us: D O Y O U S M E L L → "DO YOU SMELL"

And the second row: CARROTS

So together: Do you smell carrots?

But that doesn’t make sense as a joke.

Wait — perhaps the joke is "Do you smell carrots?" — but that’s not funny.

Wait — let’s re-express.

Wait — maybe the first row is meant to be read as:

D O Y O U S M E L L

→ "Do you smell?"

Then the second row: C A R R O T S

→ "Carrots?"

So full sentence: "Do you smell carrots?"

But that’s not a classic snowman joke.

Wait — what’s the classic snowman joke?

Ah! The most famous one is:

> "I'm melting!"

But that doesn't fit.

Another common one is:

> "I'm cold!"

No.

Wait — perhaps it's:

> "You're looking a little frosty!"

Still not matching.

Wait — let’s think about what snowmen are made of — snow, and they melt.

But here’s a better idea:

The punchline might be "I'm melting!" — but we don’t have that.

Wait — maybe the numbers are arranged differently.

Let’s check if the first row is supposed to be the joke, and the second row is the punchline.

But we have:

Row 1:
352 → D
603 → O
564 → Y
603 → O
182 → U
616 → S
228 → M
370 → E
567 → L
567 → L

→ DO YOU SMELL

Row 2:
260 → C
552 → A
192 → R
192 → R
603 → O
232 → T
616 → S

→ CARROTS

So the full phrase is: "Do you smell carrots?"

But that’s not a known snowman joke.

Wait — maybe it's "Do you smell carrots?" — because snowmen are made of snow, which is white, and carrots are used for noses.

So maybe the joke is:
> "Do you smell carrots?"
> Because I’ve got a carrot nose!

But that’s not really a joke.

Wait — perhaps the intended joke is:

> "I’m cold!" — but we don’t have that.

Alternatively, maybe the letters are to be matched to the number line below.

Wait — look at the bottom of the page: there is a line with numbers and a question mark:

```
352 603 564 603 182 616 228 370 567 567
260 552 192 192 603 232 616
```

And then a question mark after the last number.

Wait — maybe the riddle is encoded in the numbers, and we need to find which letters correspond to each number and form a sentence.

But we already did that.

Let’s try writing the first row as letters:

- 352 → D
- 603 → O
- 564 → Y
- 603 → O
- 182 → U
- 616 → S
- 228 → M
- 370 → E
- 567 → L
- 567 → L

So: D O Y O U S M E L L → "Do you smell?"

Then the second row:

- 260 → C
- 552 → A
- 192 → R
- 192 → R
- 603 → O
- 232 → T
- 616 → S

→ C A R R O T S

So: "Do you smell carrots?"

Now, that’s a funny joke because snowmen have carrot noses, so one snowman might say to another:

> "Do you smell carrots?"

Because they both have carrot noses!

Or maybe: “I smell carrots!” — but the joke is implied.

But the most likely intended answer is:

> "Do you smell carrots?"

But let’s see if there’s a better fit.

Wait — maybe the last number in the first row is 567, and it appears twice.

But we have 567 → L, so LL.

So "smell" → S M E L L → 616, 228, 370, 567, 567

Yes.

Now, what if the riddle is:

> "What did one snowman say to the other?"

Answer: "Do you smell carrots?"

But that’s not very punchy.

Wait — perhaps the intended joke is:

> "I'm melting!"

But we don’t have that.

Alternatively, maybe the code is not sequential.

Wait — perhaps the numbers are listed in order, and we need to look at the positions.

But no — the instructions say: "match the letters and answer the question"

So the products are the codes for the letters.

So we have:

- 352 → D
- 603 → O
- 564 → Y
- 182 → U
- 616 → S
- 228 → M
- 370 → E
- 567 → L
- 260 → C
- 552 → A
- 192 → R
- 232 → T

Now, the first row of numbers:

352, 603, 564, 603, 182, 616, 228, 370, 567, 567

→ D, O, Y, O, U, S, M, E, L, L → DO YOU SMELL

Second row:

260, 552, 192, 192, 603, 232, 616

→ C, A, R, R, O, T, S → CARROTS

So the complete answer is:

> "Do you smell carrots?"

That’s a clever Christmas joke — because snowmen have carrot noses, so one snowman might detect the scent of a carrot from the other.

So the final answer is:

> "Do you smell carrots?"

✔ Final Answer:

"Do you smell carrots?"

This is the decoded message from the multiplication problems.
