Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 55. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 40. So, we're going to take the number 55 and add it to itself 40 times.
Step 1: 0 + 55 = 55
Step 2: 55 + 55 = 110
Step 3: 110 + 55 = 165
Step 4: 165 + 55 = 220
Step 5: 220 + 55 = 275
Step 6: 275 + 55 = 330
Step 7: 330 + 55 = 385
Step 8: 385 + 55 = 440
Step 9: 440 + 55 = 495
Step 10: 495 + 55 = 550
Step 11: 550 + 55 = 605
Step 12: 605 + 55 = 660
Step 13: 660 + 55 = 715
Step 14: 715 + 55 = 770
Step 15: 770 + 55 = 825
Step 16: 825 + 55 = 880
Step 17: 880 + 55 = 935
Step 18: 935 + 55 = 990
Step 19: 990 + 55 = 1045
Step 20: 1045 + 55 = 1100
Step 21: 1100 + 55 = 1155
Step 22: 1155 + 55 = 1210
Step 23: 1210 + 55 = 1265
Step 24: 1265 + 55 = 1320
Step 25: 1320 + 55 = 1375
Step 26: 1375 + 55 = 1430
Step 27: 1430 + 55 = 1485
Step 28: 1485 + 55 = 1540
Step 29: 1540 + 55 = 1595
Step 30: 1595 + 55 = 1650
Step 31: 1650 + 55 = 1705
Step 32: 1705 + 55 = 1760
Step 33: 1760 + 55 = 1815
Step 34: 1815 + 55 = 1870
Step 35: 1870 + 55 = 1925
Step 36: 1925 + 55 = 1980
Step 37: 1980 + 55 = 2035
Step 38: 2035 + 55 = 2090
Step 39: 2090 + 55 = 2145
Step 40: 2145 + 55 = 2200

So, 55*40 = 2200
