Question

The answer step by step

Answer 1

Remember:

-When multiplying numbers with decimals just forget about the decimals for a second and pretend you are multiplying a 3 digit number times a 2 digit number.

-one digit at a time. Multiply going from right to left.

First:

-Multiply the 3 with the top numbers.

-Pretend you are seeing this:

5.72 (3)

- 2*3=6. 7*3=21. (carry the 2). 5*3 +2=17. (leave the 1).

Second:

-write below and move a digit to the left.

-pretend you are seeing this: 5.72(6).

- 2*6 =12. (carry the 1). 7*6 +1=43. (carry the 4) 5*6+4=34. (leave the 3).

Third: since in the problem the decimal is placed in the hundredths only once, place the decimal in the hundredths as your solution.

Your solution should be 360.36
