Question

A bag of almonds has a mass of 1.32kg. A box holds 9 of these bags. What is the mass of the almonds in the box?

Answer 1

Answer:

11.88kg

Step-by-step explanation:

9 x 1.32

(9 x 1 = 9

9 x .32 = 2.88

9 + 2.88 = 11.88)

If you're confused on multiplying decimals: Add how many decimal places are in the problem. (In this case, two) Then multiply as if there were no decimals.

9 x 132 = 1,188

(9 x 2 = 18

9 x 30 = 270

9 x 100 = 900

900 + 270 + 18 = 1,188)

After multiplying, put the decimal back. There is a decimal at the end of every number, but if there's no number after it, you normally don't put it there. In 1,188, the decimal is after the last 8. Take that decimal and slide it two places to the left. (Since there's two decimal places in the problem)

1,188 = 11.88
