Question

What is 13 tens times 2 tenths

Answer 1

Answer:

13(10) *2(10)

130*20=2600

Answer 2

13 tens means addition of the number 10 repeatedly for 13 times i.e. 13 x 10 = 130

and 2 tenth is 0.2 (as the first digit from the right of the decimal point is named as the tenths place) therefore, 2 tenths means the digit 2 placed one digit before the decimal point.

On constructing the equation from the given data:

130 x 0.2

= 26.0

=> 26
