Let

x-------> the whole number

y------> the decimal number

we know that


x*y=0.28 ------> equation 1

assume the value of x and then calculate the value of y

Let

x=280

solve for y in the equation 1


y= (0.28)/(x)

substitute the value of x


y= (0.28)/(280)


y=0.001

therefore

the expression is equal to

280*0.001=0.28
