Question

I really need help ASAP!!!My homework is due tomorrow!!!Feel free to explain how you got your answer!! :)

Answer 1

2416.5

Explanation:

89.5

× 27

-----------

multiply 7 by every single number on top. so 5×7, 9x7, 8×7

and write ur answer then on the bottom of the answer u wrote write a 0 on the right hand side then do the same thing except with 2. so multiply 2 by 5 2 by 9 then 2 by 8. once u get the answer add the top row by the bottom row to get the answer.

u could also j use calculator but I'm assuming ur not allowed to use one

Answer 2

Answer: 2416.5

Explanation:

When you multiply, ignore the decimal for now. You multiply the numbers normally. You can use the turtle method or break it down.

89.5

x 27

————

6265

+17900

————

24165

Once you have your total, you count the number of decimal places that is in your original problems, in this case there is one. So starting from the right, you move that many spaces. 2416.5.

Example 2: If it was 89.5 * 2.7 then you would have two decimal places and your answer would have been 241.65
