plz tell me

Answer 1

Answer:

4.875

Step by step explaination:

When multipliying you DO NOT need to align the decimals.

When adding or subtracting you NEED to align the decimals.

How to solve:

Write:

    2

 3.25

x 1.50

_____

   000

 16250

32500

4.8750

First Row:

0x5=0

0x2=0

0x3=0

Now you cross out the zero because you already used the zero.

Put a zero underneath the first row to your right to start the second row.

Second Row:

5x5 = 25 you carry the 2 to the top and leave the 5 in the second row.

5x2= 10 +2 = 12

5x3 +1=16

Third row you mulitply

1x5=5

1x2=2

1x3=3

The last step would be to add.

Look how many digits are there to the right of the decimal and count how many spaces

There will be a PNG at the bottom so you can maybe understand it better.

It will be step by step so you will understand.

I hope this helped!
