There's only one decimal point in the answer. This is quite obvious. Regardless of whether or not your adding, subtracting, dividing, or multiplying, there's really only going to be one decimal, ever. This doesn't change, However, what DOES change are decimal PLACES.
Looking at the problem, you see both .6 and .4 are placed to the right of the decimal, otherwise known as the tenths place (1/10).
Looking at 1.9, you see you have one number (1) placed to the left of the decimal, the ones place, and another number placed to the right of the decimal (9), in the tenths place.
Well, this is simple. You can look and see that your multiplying fractions against a whole number, which will of course make this whole number even smaller. By how much though??
Well, you can really tell this by looking at how MANY numbers are behind the decimal. You have .9, .4, and .6
That's 3 numbers behind the decimal place. This may not help you solve the problem itself, but this tells you here (ignoring the 1, that will be taken out immediately while solving and turned into a 0) that you will have 3 numbers placed from the tenths place all the way to the thousandths place.
Basically, this tells you that you'll have three decimal places to the right of the decimal.
As for rewriting your problem to better show this, that's simple too.
All you have to do is simple multiplication, just in the tenths place. How? You know that 6*4 (referring to .6 and .4) is 24, that means that .6*.4 will be .24
How does this support your answer before? .24 has TWO numbers to the right of the decimal. That's TWO decimal places. With the .9 in 1.9, that's still THREE decimal places to the right of the decimal, and your answer would be the same.
So, here's it re-written.
1.9*.24=X
~Hope this helps!
You would basically work backwards and do inverse operations

erform a simple calculation to match the screen size of a standard TV to that of a widescreen TV. If you currently have a 4:3 TV and you want to continue watching 4:3 on a widescreen TV, multiply the diagonal length of the older TV model by 1.22. The result would be the diagonal screen size that the widescreen TV would have to be to match the old model.
<span>Say you have a 40 inch (102 cm) TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio, but you're thinking about upgrading and you don't want your screen size to get smaller. You'd need to get at least a 50 inch (127 cm) screen to view in 4:3 without your picture getting smaller. That's because 1.22 x 40 = 49. Since 49 inch TVs are generally not made, you'd need to go up to 50 inches (127 cm).</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to substitute the x in (7x +2y=13) with (x=2y+11) to solve it
I=p*r*t
The answer is 1131.20
