Multiplying Decimals November 2, 2011 Ms. Latimer
Objective : to accurately multiply decimals To multiply decimals, place the longer number on top and multiply as usual. Then count up the number of decimal places in both of the factors. Place the decimal in your answer so that it has the same number of decimal places. 4.291 x 3.5 = 15.0185 3 places 1 place 4 places
Examples: Let’s work on placing the decimal point correctly… 1.) 78.26 x 12 = 93912 2.) 3.9612 x 2.3 = 911076 3.) 5.91 x 9.4 = 55554 4.) 10.631 x 5 = 53155 5.) 8.93013 x 0.82341 = 73531583433
Skill Practice: Find the following products if a = 8.91, b = 3.05 and c = 7. 1.) ac 2.) 1.2 x b 3.) 0.123 • a 4.) 1.8201c You should estimate to see if your answers are reasonable and double check that you’ve counted up your decimal places correctly!
