325*89.1
Let's decompose this into:
325 = 300 + 25
89.1 = 80 + 9 + 0.1
Then we have the multiplication:
(300 + 25)*(80 + 9 + 0.1)
Let's distribute the multiplication:
300*80 + 300*9 + 300*0.1 + 25*80 + 25*9 + 25*0.1
So now we have 6 multiplications that are a lot easier to solve than the initial one that we had.
Then the list of six multiplications involved in solving this problem are:
300*80 = 24,400
300*9 = 2,700
300*0.1 = 30
25*80 = 2,000
25*9 = 225
25*0.1 = 2.5
Now we add all of those and get:
325*89.1 = 24,400 + 2,700 + 30 + 2,000 + 225 + 2.5 = 28,957.5
Answer :
no. of days used to repair 1250m of road = 5
no. of days used to repair 1m of road = 5/1250
no. of days used to repair 8000m of road (8*1000m ) = 5/1250*8000= 32 days
