Answer 1

To solve:

`3.76\cdot4.8`

First, multiply 3.76 by 100 and 4.8 by 10 to express both values as whole numbers:

`3.76\cdot100=376`
`4.8\cdot10=48`

Next, multiply both values:

The multiplicand, 3.76, has two decimal places.

The multiplier, 4.8, has one decimal place.

If you add both, you can determine the number of decimal places of the product. In this case, the product of the multiplication will have three decimal places: 18.048

The result of the multiplication is then:

`3.76\cdot4.8=18.048`
