Question

Start with multiplying the top number by the hundredths digit in the lower number. Since we are multiplying as whole numbers, write the product as a whole number.

241
× 0.36

Answer 1

Answer: To multiply 241 by 0.36, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Multiply the top number (241) by the hundredths digit in the lower number (6).

241

× 6

------

1446

Step 2: Since we are multiplying as whole numbers, we can drop the decimal point in 0.36 and treat it as 36.

Step 3: Shift the product (1446) to the right by two places to account for the two decimal places in the original problem.

241.00

× 0.36

------

1446

9620

------

86.76

Step 4: Add the two partial products (9620 and 1446) to get the final answer.

241.00

× 0.36

------

1446

9620

------

86.76

Therefore, the product of 241 and 0.36 is equal to 86.76.
