In mathematics multiplying decimals is just like multiplying a whole number and ignoring the decimals., then just put the decimals in the answer – it is how many decimals does the two numbers combined.
First step:
Line the numbers on the right and do not a line the decimal points
26.2
× 16.43
Second Step:
Multiply the numbers starting on the right, just like multiplying a whole number and ignore the decimals.
26.2
<span> × 16.43</span>
786
1048
1572
<span>+ 262 </span>
430466
Third step: add the products
26.2
<span> × 16.43</span>
786
1048
1572
<span>+ 262 </span>
430.466 is the mathematician’s answer.
Subtract 2_5/8 minus 1_1/3:
First, get the fractions to have a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together: 8*3 = 24
Rewrite both fractions with this new denominator:
5/8 needs to be multiplied by 3 on top and bottom to make it have a denominator of 24:
5/8 * 3/3 = 15/24
1/3 needs to be multiplied by 8 on top and bottom to make it have a denominator of 24:
1/3 * 8/8 = 8/24
Now that the fractions have been rewritten with the same denominator, subtract the mixed numbers:
2_15/24 - 1_8/24
Whole numbers:
2 - 1 = 1
Fractions:
15/24 - 8/24 = 7/24.

1 inch = 2.54 cm
100 cm * (1 inch)/(2.54 cm) = 39.37 inches
