5.) 3.3-3.3=0
Explaination/Solution:To subtract decimals, follow these steps:
Write down the two numbers, one under the other, with the decimal points lined up.
Add zeros so the numbers have the same length; Then subtract normally,
remembering to put the decimal point in the answer. In this case we line up decimals
according to their group and then subtract.
2.) (3/8)(6/5)=9/20
Explaination/Solution: To multiply fractions, multiply the top numbers
(the numerators ). Then Multiply the bottom numbers (the denominators ).
And lastly, simplify the fraction if needed. With this case, we multiply 1 to 3 and 6 to 4,
then we simplify the answer. In this problem, we multiply 3 and 6 and also 8 and 5.
Then we simplify the answer.
3.) 3.5x2.6=9.1
Explaination/Solution: To multiply decimals, first multiply as if there is no decimal.
Next, count the number of digits after the decimal in each factor. Finally, put the same number
of digits behind the decimal in the product. With this problem we multiply 3.5 to 2.6 and
then count the number of decimals of both sides and applied to the answer.
4 .) (4/3)(1/2)=2/3
Explaination/Solution: To multiply fractions, multiply the top numbers (the
numerators ). Then Multiply the bottom numbers (the denominators ). And lastly, simplify
the fraction if needed. In this problem, we multiply 4 to 1 and the same also to 3 and to 2
then we simplify the answer.
5.) 2.3x6.8=15.64
Explaination/Solution: To multiply decimals, first multiply as if there is no
decimal. Next, count the number of digits after the decimal in each factor. Finally,
put the same number of digits behind the decimal in the product.
With this case, we multiply all the numbers and count the number of decimal points and
apply it to the answer.

2.) 7/5÷2/9=63/10
Explaination/Solution:Turn the second fraction upside down, then multiply.
After that, if possible simplify the answer. In this problem,
We reciprocate 2/9 which gives us 9/2 then multiply it.
.
4.) 6.7÷2.3=2.91
Explaination/Solution: To divide a decimal by another decimal, first make the
number after the division sign a whole number. We do this by multiplying it by 10, 100, 1000 etc.,
moving the decimal point to the right .We multiply the number before the division sign by the
same amount, moving its decimal point the same number of places.
5.) 24.6÷12.3=2
Explaination/Solution: To divide a decimal by another decimal, first make the
number after the division sign a whole number. We do this by multiplying it by 10, 100, 1000 etc.,
moving the decimal point to the right .We multiply the number before the division sign by the
same amount, moving its decimal point the same number of places.
