Describe your family?
How do you make your family

What makes your brother
happy?
What makes your sister happy?
Lets have a story...
Once upon a time there was a
piece of chocolate bar with 0.16 dm
long. James shared it with his
sister. If James got 0.2 of the
chocolate bar, how long was for her
sister?
• How do you find James and his sister in
the story?
• In school, how will you show your care
for others?
• What are we going to find in the
problem?
• What are given?
• What operation will we use?
• How will you state the number sentence?
Let’s analyze...
• Multiply the decimals as if they are
whole numbers: 16 x 2 = 32
• Count the number of decimal places in
both factors. The number of decimal
places in the factors is equal to the
number of decimal places in the product.
0.16 x 0.2 = 0.032
Answer the following:

have without actually computing.
1. 0.6 x 0.05 = ____
2. 0.11 x 0.7 = ____
3. 0.58 x 0.9 = ____
4. 0.8 x 0.12 = ____
5. 0.95 x 0.6 = ____
How do we multiply
decimals with factors up to
2 decimal places?
- To multiply decimals with factors up to
2 decimal places, multiply like whole
numbers and count as many decimal
places in the product as there are in the
multiplicand and multiplier together
Let’s have more fun!
Multiply and place the decimal point correctly in
the product.
1. 0.41 x 0.2
2. 0.24 x 0.3
3. 0.11 x 0.6
4. 0.32 x 0.3
5. 0.12 x 0.4
Do it your self!
A book is to be covered with a plastic
cover 3 cm more than the
dimensions of the book 0.65 dm and
0.8 dm. How much plastic cover is
needed to cover it?
Do your best!
Part 1. Place the decimal point in
the product.
1. 0.6 x 0.32 = 0192
2. 0.09 x 0.45 = 00405
3. 0.2 x 0.45 = 0090
4. If 0.9 x 0.45 = 0405, what is 0.90 x 0.45 = N?
5. 0.49 times 0.7 is 0.343, what is 4.9 times 0.7?
Part 2. Multiply and place the
decimal point in the product.
6. 0.34 x 0.4 = ____
7. 0.6 x 0.47 = _____
8. 0.74 x 0.6 = _____
9. What is the area of a rectangle with a length
of 0.75 dm and a width of 0.5 dm?
