Question

I need help with multiplying decimals i ust dont get it i also need help with dividing decimals

Answer 1

Explanation:

Okay, first multiplying decimals:

If you want to multiply decimals first you have to put the 2 decimals one on top of each other

for example:

2.27

x 4.89

Then multiply it just like if you were multiplying a regular number without the decimals

227

x 489

This equals 111,003 now to figure out the answer we can count that there are 4 numbers after the decimal point so you move the decimal point 4 to the left so the answer would be 11.1003

Answer 2

To multiply decimals, first multiply as if there is no decimal. Next, count the number of digits after the decimal in each factor. Finally, put the same number of digits behind the decimal in the product.

To divide a decimal by another decimal: Move the decimal point in the divisor to the right until it is a whole number. Move the decimal point in the dividend to the right by the same number of places as the decimal point was moved to make the divisor a whole number. Then divide the new dividend by the new divisor.
