Question:
When multiplying decimals, you can follow these steps:
- Step 1: Ignore the decimal points and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers. In this case, 4444 multiplied by 5555 is 24,686,420.
- Step 2: Count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers. In this case, there are four decimal places (two in 44.44 and two in 55.55).
- Step 3: Place the decimal point in the result by counting from the right, starting with the rightmost digit, and moving the same number of places as the total number of decimal places. In this case, you would place the decimal point four places from the right, resulting in 2,468.64.
- So, the result of multiplying (44.44)(55.55) is 2,468.64.
