Here’s a picture of my work. The answer is seven. Hope this helps :-)
8.4 inches
Explanation : The big line in the middle of 8 and 9 is equal to 8.5, but since there is a small unit that is missing, the answer is 8.4.
4 = 2 * 2
Multiplying by 2 is the same a doubling.
Since 4 is 2 * 2, to multiply a number by 4, double the number twice.
Example:
What is 4 * 100?
Double 100 to get 200.
Double 200 to get 400.
Therefore, 4 * 100 = 400.
By doubling twice, we do the same as multiplying by 4.
