Let's get this math done. We have 135 and we're going to multiply it by 9. This is the same as taking 135 and adding it to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 135 = 135
Step 2: 135 + 135 = 270
Step 3: 270 + 135 = 405
Step 4: 405 + 135 = 540
Step 5: 540 + 135 = 675
Step 6: 675 + 135 = 810
Step 7: 810 + 135 = 945
Step 8: 945 + 135 = 1080
Step 9: 1080 + 135 = 1215

So, 135*9 = 1215
