Answer:
This is a complete lesson with instruction & exercises for 5th grade about multiplying decimals by decimals. The interpretation for multiplying a decimal by a decimal is to think of it as taking a fractional part of a decimal number (the symbol × translates to "of"). The lesson compares multiplication by a decimal to scaling & shrinking a stick. Lastly, it shows the common shortcut to decimal multiplication (multiply as if there were no decimal points; the answer has as many decimals as the factors have in total.)
In the video below, I explain the rule for multiplying decimals (put as many decimal digits in the answer as there are in the factors.) I explain where this rule comes from, using fraction multiplication. The lesson continues below the video.
The functions supplied appear to be the same? Regardless:
We have the equation y = 5x.
Therefore the gradient of this graph will be 5, so for every 1 increase in the y axis, there will be 5 in the x.
It will appear as a straight line passing through the origin and the point (1, 5).
4cm•2=8cm which is the length of the red paper so therefore Red paper= 4cmx8cm.
Then your going to take 3cm-4cm= 1cm
Next your going to solve for 7cm-8cm=1cm
Which leaves you with an answer of 1cmx1cm more of visible red paper.
