The student with the correct answer is Dylan who says the decimal should be placed between the 8 and 0.

This is base on the estimation that 3.01 is a two decimal place number, so the product 18.06 should also be in 2 decimal place.

<h3>How to find product of decimal number?</h3>

A decimal number is a number expressed in the decimal system (base 10).

Place value:

  • Ten thousand
  • Thousand
  • Hundred
  • Ten
  • ones
  • . decimal point
  • tenth
  • hundredths
  • thousandth
  • ten thousandth
  • hundred thousandth

6 × 3.01

3.01

  • 3 = ones
  • . = decimal point
  • 0 = tenth
  • 1 = hundredth

6 × 3.01

= 18.06

Therefore, Lucas is incorrect with his answer that the decimal should be placed between the 1 and 8.
