7.71 x 4.31 x 1.7 x 4.00141=

Answer 1

Answer: 7.71 + 4.31 + 1.7 + 4.00141= 17.72141

7.71 x 4.31 x 1.7 x 4.00141= 226.04433255

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) 7.71 + 4.31 + 1.7 + 4.00141

= 7.71000+4.31000+1.70000+ 4.00141 [make like decimals]

= 17.72141 [By adding the corresponding places ]

(ii) 7.71 x 4.31 x 1.7 x 4.00141 =( 7.71 x 4.31) x 1.7 x 4.00141

= 33.2301 x 1.7 x 4.00141

= (33.2301 x 1.7) x 4.00141

= 56.49117 x 4.00141

= ( 56.49117 x 4.00141 )

= 226.04433255

Hence, 7.71 + 4.31 + 1.7 + 4.00141= 17.72141

7.71 x 4.31 x 1.7 x 4.00141= 226.04433255
