What is 15 x 4?

Answer 1

15 x 4 is 60.

You can see this more clearly by thinking about time. 15 minutes is a quarter of an hour, there are 4 quarters in an hour, there are 60 minutes in an hour, 15 times 4 is 60.

Answer 2

What's 1.5x4? Well let's see!

1.5x4 isn't your average 4x15=60. NO! But, you set up the problem the same way. So you would set up the problem the same way you would 4x15. It would look something like this:

1.5

x4

You have to put the decimal point inbetween the 1 and 5. So now let's do the math! 4x5=20. So we put down the 0 and carry the 2! So let's write that down:

2

1.5

x4

0

Now, 4x1=4 (obviously). Since we have our little friend Mr.Two here, we add 2. 4+2=6. So we right that down as well:

2

1.5

x4

60

But we're still not done. We didn't put that decimal point up for decoration now did we? (It would be an ugly decoration anyway) The decimal point drops RIGHT down. Staright to the bottom like a 5,000,000 ton weight. So it would look like this:

2

1.5

x4

6.0

Now, we don't need that decimal point in our answer anymore, because there is no value on the right side of our decimal point! So our answer is:

6

Hope this helped! :)
