11 x 34.12

I’m so confused?

Answer 1

`34.12 * 11 = 375.32`

Explanation:

Given

11 * 34.12

To start with, we have to ignore the decimal points;

So, we have

3412

* 11

---------------

3 4 1 2

3 4 1 2

------------------------

3 7 5 3 2

The next step is as follows;

34.12 is in 2 decimal places

11 is has no decimal (0 decimal place)

Add the decimal places together

`Decimal\ Place = 2 + 0 = 2`

This implies that the result will be in 2 decimal placed;

Hence:

`34.12 * 11 = 375.32`
