That's because of the Associative Property of Multiplication. One third of six equals six times one third.
Not necessarily: for example, consider 0.5 * 4 = 2
Multiply the number such that there are no decimal points, just a whole number. Thus if you multiply by 1000, you get 379. Since you multiplied you must divide by the same number to preserve the value. So divide 370 by 1000 and the answer is 379/1000
6
That's the distributive property.
multiply the whole number by 3,10 times
It is not. When multiplying two whole numbers you need not be concerned about placing the decimal point in the answer.
they aren't that different but the whole number needs to be converted for them to be the same
In every possible way- because whole numbers and integers are the same.
Multiplying 6.7 and 5.5 is the same as multiplying 0.67 and 55, or 67 and 0.55.
Adding and subtracting fractions can ONLY be done if the denominators are the same; then the calculation is done by adding or subtracting the numerators. Multiplying (and dividing) fractions does not require the denominators to be the same. To divide by a fraction the divisor is inverted (the original numerator becomes the new denominator and the original denominator becomes the new numerator) and then the fractions are multiplied. Multiplying fractions is achieved by multiplying the numerators together AND multiplying the denominators together. A whole number is the same as a fraction with the whole number as the numerator and a denominator of 1, so when multiplying by a whole number the denominator is multiplied by 1 (leaving it the same) and the is multiplication is effectively just multiplying the numerator by the whole number.
The answer is the same number that you started with followed by three 0s.
by multiplying the denominator with the whole number and adding the numerator. the denominator will remain the same.
If you have 1000 100s of something, that is the same as multiplying 1000 by 100, which is 100,000.
it is the same as multiplying by 0.4
any number you wnat could be 5 * 6 or 7 * 8 multiplying is the same thing as finding the product
Using the same principles as multiplying a negative whole number by a positive whole number, where the result would be a negative, the product of a (positive) fraction and a negative whole number would equal the product of the two, with the minus sign included. For example, 1/2 x -4 = -2. The same rule can be applied the other way around, multiplying a negative fraction by a positive number would produce the same result.
