Understand the problem

Solve the following problem:

0.5×6.7×6.31= 0.5\times6.7\times6.31=

Step-by-step solution

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:

0.5×6.7=3.35 0.5\\\times6.7\\=3.35

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::

3.35×6.31= 3.35\times6.31=

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:

3.35×6.31=21.1385 3.35\\\times6.31\\=21.1385

Final Answer

21.1385 21.1385
