...point in the product two places to the left. The result is 2.37222; from this it will be seen that the number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the decimal places in the multiplicand and multiplier. 10. In multiplying 32.06 by 7.08, can you tell...

....2, or .04. From a number of examples of this type the pupil should be able to deduce the rule that the number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the decimal places in the multiplier and multiplicand. Division can be introduced by methods corresponding...

...multiply decimals, multiply the numbers exactly as if they were integers. Place the decimal point so that the number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the decimal places in the numbers. | M Í а I = 5 2: 1 H H _i— t | 3 о = a Б - ^ 5, 1 s = = S...

...each product and the number 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,...

...follow the procedures for multiplying integers, and then place the decimal point so that the total number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the decimal places in each factor. Examples: (3.14) (0.5) = 1.570, and (89.8) (152.9) = 13,730.42 Examples:...

...has a nonzero digit. Eventually, this should lead to recognition of the pattern that the final total of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the decimal places in the multiplicand multiplier. The counting decimal places shortcut has an explanation!...
