Answer:
Explanation:
This is a very good question to know the answer to. It teaches you the art of estimating. You do that without a calculator.
In this case, just multiply 5 * 6. The answer must be somewhere near 30.
So the decimal goes after the 4.
But your teacher is likely going to want a more formal method. So the formal answer is this: Count the number of decimal places. 5.24 provides 2 decimal places -- the 2 and the 4 are to the right of the decimal.
6.5 adds another one 0.5
Altogether you have 3 decimal places.
Add a decimal after the second 0.
Count 3 places to the left.
You wind up with 34.060 just as you did before.
