Question

How to solve 16 * 12.5

Answer 1

Answer: 200

Step-by-step explanation:

First I would do it like this.

12.5

X. 16

—————-

6 times 5 is 0, carry the 3, 6 times 2 is 12 and add 3 from the other which is 15, put the 1 from the 15 to the one next to the 12. 6 times 1 is 6 plus 1 is 7 which now you have 750. 5 times 1 is 5, 2 times 1 is 2, 1 times 1 is 1. It should look like this now.

12.5

X 16

—————

750

+ 1250

——————-

Which is 8750 but wait. Where is the decimal? Well, there is only one number behind the decimal so it is 875.0 or 875.
