Step-by-step explanation: To multiply a decimal by a whole number, first line up the numbers and begin multiplying as if we were multiplying two whole numbers.  

Let's look at an example.

2.9 x 6 = ?

Steps for multiplying

6 x 9 is 54 so we bring down the 4 and carry the 5.

6 x 2 is 12 and if we add 5 to that, we get a sum of 17.

Now we have 174.

Now here is the trick with multiplication problems involving decimals. As our last step, we must determine where the decimal goes in our answer by counting the total number of digits to the right of the decimal point in our original numbers,

Since 2.9 has one digit to the right of the decimal point and 6 has no digits to the right of the decimal point, we have a total of one digit to the right of the decimal point in our original numbers.

This means that we will have one digit to the right of the decimal point in our answer. So our answer is 17<em>.</em>4.

circumference of a circular field is 197.82 yards. What is the diameter of the field? Use 3.14 for it and do not round your answ
storchak [24]

Answer:

63 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is its diameter multiplied by the constant pi.C=\pi d. We are told to use \pi=3.14 and C=197.82, so we rearrange: \frac{197.82}{3.14}=d

We find that d=63.

Identify the relation that is also a function.
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A is a function; B, C and D are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

In other words:  Identify the sole function among these relationships.

A function maps any input onto exactly one output.

If a relationship maps any input onto more than one output, it is not a function.

Thus, we eliminate B, C and D.  In B, for example, we have the inputs {1, 2, 3}, where the '1' has two y-values associated with it.

On the other hand, A has the domain {-1, 0, 1, 2}, and all four inputs have exactly one associated output.
