First we multiply the numbers ignoring the decimal and then place the decimal in the position

3.04 *7.091 = 2155664

Now the first number has two digits after the decimal and the second number has three digits after the decimal.

Therefore in the final result we have to move the decimal (2+3) =5 place from the left,

So the answer would be 21.55664

So, the correct answer is 21.55664

Jerry calculated the answer correctly , but made an error in the placement of the decimal point. The answer is not reasonable because 2.155664 and 21.55664 mean two completely different answer far apart from each other

Hans needs to rent a moving truck. suppose company a charges a rate of $40 per day and company B charges $60 fee plus $30 per da

kykrilka [37]

The time at which the cost for the services of the two companies would be in exactly 6 days. If we would compare the two charges, we would see that company A just charges 40 per day while B has a charge of 60, which is a standard fee, and a rate of 30 per day. So if we compute 40 x 6, we will have a total cost now of 240. If we compute 30 x 6, we will have a total cost now of 180 plus 60 which is the standard fee, and we will get 240. So in 6 days, the rates of the two companies would both accumulate to 240.
