Question

(a) You are given that 246x17 = 4182

Explain how you use this calculation to work out the value of 2460 x 1700
and
(b) 16x3 is 48. Use this to work out the answer to 0.16 x 0.3, showing how you do so.

Answer 1

246×17=4182

2460×1700=4182000

(one zero on the end+2 zeroes in the end=3 zeroes in the end on the answer)

16×3=48

0,16×0,3=0,048

(2 numbers after comma+1 number after comma=3 numbers after comma in the answer)
