Question

Write an expression so that the product of a whole number and a decimal is.0.28

Answer 1

Let

x-------> the whole number

y------> the decimal number

we know that

$x*y=0.28$ ------> equation 1

assume the value of x and then calculate the value of y

Let

x=280

solve for y in the equation 1

$y= \frac{0.28}{x}$

substitute the value of x

$y= \frac{0.28}{280}$

$y=0.001$

therefore

the expression is equal to

280*0.001=0.28
