Let’s solve each multiplication problem one by one. We’re multiplying decimals by whole numbers — just like regular multiplication, but we keep the decimal point in the right place.
---
Problem 1: 16.0 × 8
Think of it as 16 × 8 = 128
Since 16.0 has one decimal place, and 8 is a whole number, the answer keeps one decimal place →
128.0
✔ Check: 16 × 8 = 128 → so 16.0 × 8 = 128.0
---
Problem 2: 45.3 × 4
Multiply 453 × 4 = 1812
Now, since 45.3 has one decimal place, put the decimal back →
181.2
✔ Check: 45 × 4 = 180, and 0.3 × 4 = 1.2 → 180 + 1.2 = 181.2
---
Problem 3: 14.7 × 2
147 × 2 = 294
One decimal place →
29.4
✔ Check: 14 × 2 = 28, 0.7 × 2 = 1.4 → 28 + 1.4 = 29.4
---
Problem 4: 39.9 × 3
399 × 3 = 1197
One decimal place →
119.7
✔ Check: 40 × 3 = 120, minus 0.1 × 3 = 0.3 → 120 - 0.3 = 119.7
---
Problem 5: 75.1 × 9
751 × 9 = 6759
One decimal place →
675.9
✔ Check: 75 × 9 = 675, 0.1 × 9 = 0.9 → 675 + 0.9 = 675.9
---
Problem 6: 14.9 × 5
149 × 5 = 745
One decimal place →
74.5
✔ Check: 15 × 5 = 75, minus 0.1 × 5 = 0.5 → 75 - 0.5 = 74.5
---
Problem 7: 58.0 × 5
58 × 5 = 290
One decimal place →
290.0
✔ Check: 50 × 5 = 250, 8 × 5 = 40 → 250 + 40 = 290 → so 290.0
---
Problem 8: 89.9 × 4
899 × 4 = 3596
One decimal place →
359.6
✔ Check: 90 × 4 = 360, minus 0.1 × 4 = 0.4 → 360 - 0.4 = 359.6
---
Problem 9: 23.3 × 1
Anything times 1 is itself →
23.3
✔ Check: No change needed.
