To multiply decimals: Set up and multiply the numbers as you do with whole numbers. Count the total number of decimal places in both of the factors. Place the decimal point in the product so that the number of decimal places in the product is the sum of the decimal places in the factors.
<span>In this case, the value of the first 3 (the ten-thousands) has a value of 30,000. The 3 next to it, in the hundred-thousands place, has a value of 300,000. To compare the two, the 3 on the right has a value one-tenth as much as that on the left.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
N + d = 21
0.5n + 0.10d = 1.35
5n + 10d = 135
d = 21-n
5n + 210 - 10n = 135
-5n = -75
n = 15
d = 6
Hi there!
The correct answer is 6.25 times.
This is how you get there:
1) First off, you are going to need to have the same unit (either cm or mm). I used millimeters for this problem. 25cm=250mm
2) This next part is very easy to get wrong. You need to figure out what you are dividing, and by what. Simply look at the problem. <span><em>"How much longer is the guinea pig than her fish?" </em>This shows what numbers you should be getting. The guinea pig is 250mm long, where the fish is only 40. This means that her guinea pig should be larger. 250÷40=6.25
If you did this problem the other way, you would've ended up with .16. If you put the sizes into perspective, you will notice that this is highly unlikely.
I hope that I have been able to simplify this problem for you!
