Question

0.25 multiplied by 15 = ? What is ?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this many ways. Write a table that looks like this:

0.25

   15

--------

Ignore all decimal points. Multiply the 5's together and carry the 2 to the next column. Multiply 2 x 5 + 2, write the second digit (which is 2) and carry the 1. Multiply 0 by 5 + 1 = 1, so your top number should be 125. Then, multiply all the numbers by the 1. 5 x 1 = 5; 2 x 1 = 2; 0 x 1 = 0. We now have something that looks like:

   0.25

       15

   --------

    1  2  5

0  2  5

Add these numbers together and add the decimal point 2 numbers from the right, since that's what was in the original decimal.

    1  2  5

0  2  5

---------------

    3.75
