Question

Draw a model to find the product 84×0.24

Answer 1

.24 is rational, therefore it can be expressed as a/b.
.24=24/100
The product would be (84×24)/100 which is 20.16 if you wanted to put it in decimal form.

Answer 2

Answer:

20.16

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the product of this multiplication is by transforming the decimal number into a fraction and then operate. We can see that the decimal number has two decimal points, so if we divide by 100, we will have a whole number on the top:

$0.24=\frac{24}{100}$

Now, we multiply this fraction:

$84\frac{24}{100}=\frac{2016}{100}$

Then, to have the final result as decimal, we just divide by 100, this means to move the decimal point two spaces to the left:

$\frac{2016}{100}=20.16$
