Solve the following problem:
Adhering to the rules of the order of operations the exercise can be solved from left to right given that it only contains multiplication
The exercise on the left hand side should be solved vertically in order to avoid confusion as shown below:
It is important to maintain correct positioning of the exercise, with the decimal point serving as an anchor.
Then we can multiply in order, first the ones digit of the first number by the ones digit of the second number,
then the tens digit of the first number by the ones digit of the second number, and so on.
This should result in the following exercise::
We will once again solve the exercise vertically whilst maintaining the decimal point and multiplying in order (ones, tens, and so on)
As shown below:
\( 94+12+6= \)
Yes! While multiplication is commutative (order doesn't matter), working left to right with helps you stay organized and avoid errors.
Count decimal places in each factor: 0.5 has 1, 6.7 has 1, and 6.31 has 2. Add them up: 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 places in your final answer.
Absolutely! Multiply , then place the decimal 4 places from the right: 21.1385.
Double-check your arithmetic! First: . Then: . Each step must be accurate.
The exact answer is 21.1385. Only round if the problem specifically asks for it! Always give the complete answer unless told to round to a certain number of decimal places.
