This week, our focus in math is on multiplying decimals. You should multiply decimals the same way you multiply whole numbers. To place the decimal point in the product, first count the number of places in both factors. Place the decimal point that many places from the right in the product. For example,
0.028 x 0.4 = 0.0112
There are three digits to the right of the decimal in the factor 0.028.
There is one digit to the right of the decimal in the factor 0.4.
So, there are four digits to the right of the decimal in the product 0.0112.
Can you think of times in real life when you multiply decimals? We've had plenty of examples already in our star problems. KF
