Question

what is a decimal and how do we take out a decimal

Answer 1

Starting with the answer that you have obtained by multiplying the numbers, move the decimal point the same number of places to the left as there are numbers after the decimal point in the two factors.


Example 1

0.5 x 0.5

5 x 5 is 25. There are two numbers after the decimal point, one in each of the multiplying numbers, so move the decimal point two places to the left, from 25, and the answer is 0.25.

Example 2

1.2 x 0.25

First remove the decimal points 12 x 25 = 300.

This time, there are three digits after the decimal place in the multiplying numbers, one in 1.2 and two in 0.25.

The decimal point in 300 is after the second zero, making it 300.0.

Move the decimal point three places to the left, and the answer is 0.3.
