Question

Ricky is solving a multiplication problem where both terms include decimal values. The first term has 4 digits after the decimal. The second term has 5 digits after the decimal. The product will have how many digits after the decimal?

Answer 1

9 digits

Explanation:

when doing multiplication with decimals the amount of digits after the decimal in the final product will be the sum of the amounts of digits after the decimal in the two numbers being multiplied together

For example, If you were to multiply 6.789 by 10.321 the answer would be 70.069269. There are six digits after the decimal because the numbers being multiplied each have three digits after their decimals

(If that makes sense. If not, I'm sorry)
