.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.
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:
Now, we multiply this fraction:
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:
The first fish has an integer of -4 and the other fish has an integer of -3. -3 is greater because -4 is one less of -3. If you put it on a line then -3 is closer to the 0 then -4.
