Answer:
A) 0.8 X 3 X 1 = 2.4
B) 0.3 X 2 X 4 = 2.4
C) 0.4 + 1.5 +0.5 = 2.4
D) 2 + 0.3 + 0.1 = 2.4
Explanation:
A) To get three numbers whose product is 2.4, we will have to find out by multiplying three different decimal numbers to see if we can get 2.4. In other words, we are looking for factors of 2.4.
We can start by dividing 2.4 by three.
This will give 0.8 ( which is one of the numbers)
Recall that 1 is also a number and any number multiplied by 1 is itself. We can take one to be our third number.
Our three numbers are 0.8 X 3 X 1 = 2.4
B) To get another set of numbers, we can simply choose to divide 2.4 by 4.
2.4 / 2 = 0.6.
we can also divide 0.6 into 2.
0.6 / 2 = 0.3
Our other three numbers can be 0.3 X 2 X 4 = 2.4
C) Three numbers which can sum up to 2.4 are
0.4 + 1.5 +0.5 = 2.4
D) To get another set of numbers, we can simply break 2.4 up into other simpler numbers.
2 + 0.3 + 0.1 = 2.4
