Chapter 1, Problem 106
Multiply or divide as indicated. 34.04 × 0.56
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the operation: The problem asks to multiply 34.04 by 0.56.
Rewrite the multiplication in equation form: \(34.04 \times 0.56\).
To multiply decimals, ignore the decimal points temporarily and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers: multiply 3404 by 56.
Count the total number of decimal places in both original numbers. 34.04 has 2 decimal places, and 0.56 has 2 decimal places, so together they have 4 decimal places.
After multiplying the whole numbers, place the decimal point in the product so that there are 4 digits to the right of the decimal point.
