7.71 x 4.31 x 1.7 x 4.00141=

Answer 1

Answer: 7.71 + 4.31 + 1.7 + 4.00141= 17.72141

7.71 x 4.31 x 1.7 x 4.00141=  226.04433255

Explanation:

(i) 7.71 + 4.31 + 1.7 + 4.00141

= 7.71000+4.31000+1.70000+ 4.00141   [make like decimals]

= 17.72141    [By adding the corresponding places ]

(ii)  7.71 x 4.31 x 1.7 x 4.00141 =( 7.71 x 4.31) x 1.7 x 4.00141

= 33.2301 x 1.7 x 4.00141

= (33.2301 x 1.7) x 4.00141

=  56.49117 x 4.00141

= ( 56.49117 x 4.00141 )

=  226.04433255

Hence,  7.71 + 4.31 + 1.7 + 4.00141= 17.72141

7.71 x 4.31 x 1.7 x 4.00141=  226.04433255
