What is a multiplication problem in which the product has two Decimal places?
2.4 x 8.6
Two factors are mulitiplied and their product is 34.44 one factor is whole number how many decimal places are in the other factor?
34.44 = 2 x 17.22 or 4 x 8.61, so the answer would appear to be two places.
How can you work out 0.35 x 20?
0.35 x 20 = 7 0.35 x 20 ------ 7.00 First, multiply 35 by 0, the product is---------0. Then, multiply 35 by 2, the product is------70. ============================ Putting 0 and 70 together, we get--------------700. 0.35 has two decimal places to the left so put the decimal place of 700 two places to the left too and we get 7.
How do you multiply two-digit numbers in a decimal?
To multiply two digit decimal numbers, multiply the numbers as you would without the decimals. To put the decimal in the answer, count the number of decimal places in the two numbers and put the decimal in the answer that many places to the left. For example: 5.12 x 6.35 = 32.5120. If the numbers were 51.2 x 63.5, the answer would be 3251.20.
How do you know where to put the decimal when multiplying decimals?
If two decimal numbers have x and y digits after the decimal point respectively, then their product has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.
How many decimal places are there in the product of 3.012 x 6.2034?
There are: 3.012 times 6.2034 = 18.6846408 which makes 7 decimal places
How many decimal places are in the product of 4.97 and 3.456?
Generally speaking, with the exception of trailing zeroes, the number of decimal places in the answer of a multiplication sum is equal to the sum of the number of decimal places in the question. Therefore, 4.97 x 3.456 contains five decimal places in total, therefore the answer contains five decimal places. In this instance, 4.97 x 3.456 = 17.17632.
How you know the number of decimal places that should be in the product when you multiply two decimal number together?
If the two numbers have x and y decimal places respectively, then the raw product (before deleting and trailing 0s) has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.
Is the product of 0.02x 0.02 the same of the product of 0.2 x 0.002 explain?
The product of 0.02x 0.02 is 0.0004,and the product of 0.2 x 0.002 is also 0.0004, so they are the same. In each case, the answer requires 4 decimal places. In the first problem, you have two figures with two decimal places each, equaling four decimal places. In the second problem, you have a figure with one decimal place and a figure with three decimal places, also equaling four decimal places.
When you multiply a decimal by a whole number is the number of decimal places in the product the same as the number of decimal places in the decimal factor?
This is not necessarily true. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
Where do you place the decimal in the answer when multiplying decimals?
If two decimal number have X and Y decimal places, respectively, then the raw product (before removing any trailing zeros) of the two numbers will have (X + Y) decimal places.
When you multiply a decimal by a whole number the number of the decimal places in the product is the same as the number of decimal places in the decimal factor True or false?
False. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
What is a multiplication problem in which the product has two Decimal places?
2.4 x 8.6
Two factors are mulitiplied and their product is 34.44 one factor is whole number how many decimal places are in the other factor?
34.44 = 2 x 17.22 or 4 x 8.61, so the answer would appear to be two places.
How can you find the product of 0.03 X 0.42?
1). Multiply (3 x 42) = 1262). Mark off 4 decimal places: 0.0126
How can estimating the product help you place the decimal point?
Ex: 52.73 x 384.12 Round to 50 x 400 = 20,000 so when you do the actual math you know that there are 5 places to the left of the decimal.
How do I place the decimal point in the product of two decimals?
If the two decimal numbers have x and y digits after the decimal points, then the product has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.
