OK, let's crack this. We're given 611 and our task is to multiply it by 9. Essentially, we'll be adding 611 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 611 = 611
Step 2: 611 + 611 = 1222
Step 3: 1222 + 611 = 1833
Step 4: 1833 + 611 = 2444
Step 5: 2444 + 611 = 3055
Step 6: 3055 + 611 = 3666
Step 7: 3666 + 611 = 4277
Step 8: 4277 + 611 = 4888
Step 9: 4888 + 611 = 5499

So, 611*9 = 5499
