Is it okay if we don't put zeros and leave the place blank

[@MathDefinedwithMrsC]

That is a great question! I don't advise my students to leave the space blank. Placing a zero as a place holder keeps the place values separated and lined up preventing mistakes when you add the partial products together as the last step.
