Use the whole number product and place value reasoning to place the decimal point in the second product. Explain how you know.
If 36 x 134 = 4,824 then
36 x 1.34 = ?

What exactly does this mean? I know what the answer is but what does whole number product and place value reasoning mean??

Respuesta :

the answer to ypur question is 48.24
When you multiply decimals and whole numbers you have to find out how many numbers are behind the decimal, in this case there are two in the number 1.34. So once you know this you will know how many places to move your decimal over in the first answer where both numbers being multiplied are whole numbers. so you answer would be 48.24
