⦁ Show (2.3)(5.06) as a fraction multiplication problem and explain why the answer is in thousandths (three decimal places).

astra-53 [7]

we have

$(2.3)(5.06)$

we know that

$2.3=\frac{23}{10}$

$5.06=\frac{506}{100}$

so

$(2.3)(5.06)=(\frac{23}{10})(\frac{506}{100})$

$=\frac{11,638}{1,000}$

$=11.638$

the answer is in thousandths, because the denominator of the multiplication of the two fractions is one thousand
