Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 250 and we're going to multiply it by 7, essentially adding 250 to itself 7 times.
Step 1: 0 + 250 = 250
Step 2: 250 + 250 = 500
Step 3: 500 + 250 = 750
Step 4: 750 + 250 = 1000
Step 5: 1000 + 250 = 1250
Step 6: 1250 + 250 = 1500
Step 7: 1500 + 250 = 1750

So, 250*7 = 1750
