Answer:

0.4096 (Zero and Four Thousand Ninety-Six Ten Thousandths.)

Explanation:

The distance between 4.81 and 2.25 is 2.56.

Divide 2.56 by 2.

2.56 / 2 = 1.28.

Then multiply 0.38 by 1.28.

128 x 32 = 4096, then move the decimal 4 times to the left.

4096.

The decimal is behind the 6, you need to move the decimal in front of the 4.

Therefore, your result is 0.4096.
