Answer 2

The multiplication $20880 \times \dfrac{2}{5}$ is $\boxed{8352}.$

Further explanation:

Always use the PEDMAS rule to solve the grouping of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division.

Here, P is parenthesis, E is exponents, M is multiplication, D is division, A is addition and S is subtraction.

Given:

The expression is $20880 \times \dfrac{2}{5}.$

Explanation:

The given expression is $20880 \times \dfrac{2}{5}.$

Consider the expression $20880 \times \dfrac{2}{5}$ as A.

$A = 20880 \times \dfrac{2}{5}$

Solve the above expression to obtain the simplest form.

$\begin{aligned}A&= 20880 \times \frac{2}{5}\\&= \frac{{41760}}{5}\\&= 8352\\\end{aligned}$

Another way of solving the expression can be expressed as follows,

First divide 2 by 5.

$\begin{aligned}b&= \frac{2}{5}\\&= 0.4\\\end{aligned}$

Now multiply 20880 to 0.4.

$\begin{aligned}A&= 20880 \times 0.4\\&= 8352\\\end{aligned}$

The multiplication $20880$ times $\dfrac{2}{5} \:{\text{is}\: \boxed{8352}.$
