There's only one decimal point in the answer. This is quite obvious. Regardless of whether or not your adding, subtracting, dividing, or multiplying, there's really only going to be one decimal, ever. This doesn't change, However, what DOES change are decimal PLACES.
Looking at the problem, you see both .6 and .4 are placed to the right of the decimal, otherwise known as the tenths place (1/10).
Looking at 1.9, you see you have one number (1) placed to the left of the decimal, the ones place, and another number placed to the right of the decimal (9), in the tenths place.
Well, this is simple. You can look and see that your multiplying fractions against a whole number, which will of course make this whole number even smaller. By how much though??
Well, you can really tell this by looking at how MANY numbers are behind the decimal. You have .9, .4, and .6
That's 3 numbers behind the decimal place. This may not help you solve the problem itself, but this tells you here (ignoring the 1, that will be taken out immediately while solving and turned into a 0) that you will have 3 numbers placed from the tenths place all the way to the thousandths place.
Basically, this tells you that you'll have three decimal places to the right of the decimal.
As for rewriting your problem to better show this, that's simple too.
All you have to do is simple multiplication, just in the tenths place. How? You know that 6*4 (referring to .6 and .4) is 24, that means that .6*.4 will be .24
How does this support your answer before? .24 has TWO numbers to the right of the decimal. That's TWO decimal places. With the .9 in 1.9, that's still THREE decimal places to the right of the decimal, and your answer would be the same.
So, here's it re-written.
1.9*.24=X

Answer:
12 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
The kerosene usage is assumed to be jointly proportional to the number of stoves and the number of hours. That is ...
v = k·s·h . . . . . for s stoves running h hours
Then the value of k is ...
k = v/(sh) = (16 L)/(12·14) = 2/21 . . . . liters per stove-hour
Then the volume of kerosene required for 7 stoves and 18 hours is ...
v = (2/21)·s·h
v = (2/21)(7)(18) = 12 . . . liters
Answer:
slope = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
y - 3 = - (x - 2) ← is in point- slope form
with slope m = -
Answer:
the number of cookies ordered
Step-by-step explanation:
When an equation is written in the form ...
(left variable) = (some expression involving one or more right variables)
we usually describe the "left variable" as the "dependent variable" and the "one or more right variables" as the "independent variable(s)".
Here, the equation is given as ...
C = 3s + 30
__
This tells you C is the dependent variable, and s is the independent variable. The description also says "C is the number of cookies." Since you know that the dependent variable is the number of cookies, you can answer the question ...
the dependent quantity is the number of cookies ordered. (matches the first choice)
