-2 then -5/2 and then 1.7
In mathematics multiplying decimals is just like multiplying a whole number and ignoring the decimals., then just put the decimals in the answer – it is how many decimals does the two numbers combined.
First step:
Line the numbers on the right and do not a line the decimal points
26.2
× 16.43
Second Step:
Multiply the numbers starting on the right, just like multiplying a whole number and ignore the decimals.
26.2
<span> × 16.43</span>
786
1048
1572
<span>+ 262 </span>
430466
Third step: add the products
26.2
<span> × 16.43</span>
786
1048
1572
<span>+ 262 </span>
430.466 is the mathematician’s answer.
The unit price is $1.23 (I think!!)
For number 9, you know that it makes 40 copies every five minutes. All you have to do is divide 40 by 5.
40 ÷ 5 = 8
It makes 8 copies every minute.
Your chart can also help you check your answer. It says that it makes 96 copies every 12 minutes and it makes 104 copies every 13 minutes. So multiply 8 by 12 to check it and 8 by 13.
8 • 12 = 96
8 • 13 = 104
Since those answers match up with the chart, it must be correct.
The photocopier makes 8 copies every minute. Hope that helps!
