Question

Write an equation that illustrates a number with two decimal places multiplied by a number with one decimal place. The product has only two nonzero digits?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the number with two decimal places be 1.23

Let the number with one decimal place be 4.5

Then 1.23 multiplied by 4.5

= 1.23 × 4.5

= 5.535

The result has more than two nonzero digits.

Note: When you multiply two decimal numbers, the decimal place(s) of the result is the addition of the decimal places of each of the numbers being multiplied.
