Janet can read 4.7 pages of a book in a minute. If she read for 2.2 minutes, how much would she have read?

She will read 10.34 pages. If you multiply 4.7 times 2.2 you will get an answer of 10.34.All you have to do is simply multiply and forget that the decimal points are there. When you get your answer, just count how many decimals there are to the right of the decimal point. There is both one decimal in 4.7 and 2.2. Add 1 plus 1 and add those decimals in. From the right, you go twice to the left and place your decimal point. You will have an answer of 10.34 pages. Hope this helped!
