Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 44. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 9. So, we're going to take the number 44 and add it to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 44 = 44
Step 2: 44 + 44 = 88
Step 3: 88 + 44 = 132
Step 4: 132 + 44 = 176
Step 5: 176 + 44 = 220
Step 6: 220 + 44 = 264
Step 7: 264 + 44 = 308
Step 8: 308 + 44 = 352
Step 9: 352 + 44 = 396

So, 44*9 = 396
