...7 (14) 7 (15) 9 375 It will be seen from this example ''° that the number of decimal figures '1875 in the product is equal to the sum of the number of decimal figures in both factors. From this, the following rule may be deduced. 125. Rule. Multiply...

...annexed to the figure 1 in the denominator of the fraction, and that the number of decimal figures in the product is equal to the sum of the number of decimal figure* in the multiplicand and the multiplier. 1. Multiply 24.207 by .83. 2. Multiply 10.0518...

...factors, the quotient will give the other factor if the work is correct. 49. The number of figures in the product is equal to the sum of the number of figures in the multiplicand and multiplier, or equal to this sum, less one. Thus the multiplicand containing...

...containing one, two, or three figures. Since in the multiplication of decimals, the number of deoimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the number of places in multiplicand and multiplier, the cube of any decimal will contain three times as many places...

...following rules are sometimes given for locating the decimal point: Multiplication — The number of digits in the product is equal to the sum of the number of digits in the two factors, except where the slide projects on the right, in which case one must be...

...following rule: The number of figures to the right of the decimal point in the answer will always equal the number of figures to the right of the decimal point in the problem. Example 11.6 x 4.5 (1) (2) Two figures to the right 116 x of the decimal point 45 580 4640...

...decimals Count up the number of figures to the right of the decimal points in the question. Put the same number of figures to the right of the decimal point in the answer. (a) 0.2 x 0.8 2 figures after the decimal points [2x8= 16] So 0.2x0.8 = 0.1 6 (b) 0.4 x 0.07...

...of decimal places in the two numbers that are multiplied. In each case the number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the number of decimal places in the two numbers. Thus in (b) the number 25 contains 0 decimal places, while 0.5 contains...

...have been multiplied together. The position of the decimal point can be located by the following rule: The number of figures to the right of the decimal point in the answer will always equal the total number of figures to the right of the decimal point to start with....
