Part 1: Multiply the Decimals
We’ll solve each multiplication problem using standard decimal multiplication (multiply as if they were whole numbers, then place the decimal point based on total decimal places).
---
a. 76.4 × 2.5
- Ignore decimals: 764 × 25 = ?
- 764 × 20 = 15,280
- 764 × 5 = 3,820
- Total = 15,280 + 3,820 =
19,100
- Count decimal places: 76.4 has 1, 2.5 has 1 → total 2 decimal places.
- Place decimal:
191.00 →
191.0
✔ Answer: 191.0

Part 2: Word Problem
> Noah bought a new car. It gets 21.7 miles per gallon of gas on the highway. His gas tank can hold 14 gallons of gas. How many miles can Noah travel on the highway on one tank of gas?
This is a multiplication problem:
Miles = Miles per gallon × Gallons
→ 21.7 × 14
Let’s compute:
- 21.7 × 10 = 217
- 21.7 × 4 = 86.8
- Total = 217 + 86.8 =
303.8 miles
✔ Answer: 303.8 miles
