Understanding Decimal Multiplication
Multiplying a decimal number by a whole number is similar to multiplying two whole numbers, but with an extra step to place the decimal point in the correct position.
Example: Let's multiply 2.5 by 3.
- First, ignore the decimal point and multiply 25 by 3, which gives 75.
- Count the number of decimal places in the decimal number (2.5 has one decimal place).
- Place the decimal point in the product so that there is the same number of decimal places as in the original decimal number. In this case, one decimal place. So, 7.5.
