Multiplying Whole Numbers and Decimals Unit 3 Lesson 8 and 9 Powerpoint taken from: http://www.mrsoregan.net/PwrPnt_Notes.htm
Things you need to know… • Do not line up the decimal points! • Pretend all decimals are whole numbers until the very end • Only look at the decimals when trying to figure out where to put the decimal point in your answer
or Strategy #1 405 • 59 = x 405 x 59 405 x 9 405 x 50 + 3 6 4 4 5 2 0 2 2 5 0 (5 x 4) = 20 Since there are no other numbers to multiply, write down the 20. (5 x 0) + 2 = 2 Write down the 2. Zero is a place holder. Put a zero in your answer to hold its place. (9 x 0) + 4 = 4 Write down the 4. 5 x 9 = 45 Put the 5 in the answer and carry the 4 (it’s really 40) to the next place value (tens) 5 x 5 = 25 Put the 5 in the answer and carry the 2 (it’s really 20) to the next place value (tens) (9 x 4) = 36 Since there are no other numbers to multiply, write down the 36.
or Strategy #1 405 • 59 = x 405 x 59 405 x 9 405 x 50 + 3 6 4 4 5 2 0 2 2 5 0 23,895 The final answer is:
What if I have a decimal point in my problem? • Multiply your numbers using one of the steps just shown. • When done, count all the numbers after a decimal point in your problem. • Make sure your answer has exactly that number of digits in the decimal spaces.
If my problem has decimals… 405 x 59 4.05 x 5.9 4.05 x 5.9 .405 x .059 .405 x .059 23,895 23.895 .023895 I had to add a zero because there are six total decimals spots in my problem, but I only had 5 digits in my answer. Notice that the zero came between the decimal point and my old answer.
