CONTENT AND SAMPLE QUESTIONS
DECIMAL MULTIPLICATION

When multiplying decimal and whole numbers, it is just the same as we would do basic multiplication.

For Example:

We multiply ones by one, tens by tens, etc, and we regroup and add.

Multiplication: Repeated Addition

Subtraction: Repeated Subtraction

STEPS IN DECIMAL MULTIPLICATION

1. Pretend that the decimal point is not there or make the decimal number a whole number.

3.65 x 2.4 = ?

2. Multiply the same way we do with whole numbers

3. Bring back the decimal point by adding how many numbers it skipped.
 (Factors of ten)

CLASSWORK
Solve the following equations

1. 8.5 x 10 = 85
2. 0.98 x 10.1 = 9.898
3. 3.1 x 29 = 89.9
