Line up 185x5 on the paper as if you were doing any other multiplication problem. 185 on top, 5 on the bottom with the x sign to the left.
5 times 5 is 25, drop the five, carry the 2, 5 times 8 is 40, plus the 2 we carried is 42, drop the two, carry the four, 5 times one is five, plus the four is 9. The answer is close to 1,000, so you'd circle the answer 1,000.

Let

x-------->
number of flowers that the \(5\) volunteers planted in \(2\) days

we know that

\(x=185*5\\ x=(100+80+5)*5\\ x=100*5+80*5+5*5\\ x=500+400+25\\ x=925\)

therefore

the answer is

about \(1,000\)
