What a question looks like
Example question8.8 × 8.5 = ?
Answer: 74.80
- Multiply as whole numbers: 88 × 85 = 7480.
- There are two decimal places in total, so the product is 74.80.
Use this practice well
Multiply as whole numbers first, then account for the combined decimal places. Check the scale of the answer with an estimate; multiplying by a number below one should reduce a positive quantity.
What this develops
Practise decimal multiplication at a chosen difficulty.
A mistake to watch for
Counting decimal places in only one factor gives an answer off by a power of ten.
Ways to use it
- Practise decimal placement.
- Compare exact and estimated products.
- Assign a short follow-up sheet.
Scope and limits
Questions use finite decimal factors; they do not introduce recurring decimals.
