Answer 14

now hw do yu multiply a decimal

Answer 15

Decimals are multiplied like whole numbers, but we have to count the decimal places.
For example: 0.5 * 8
5*8 = 40, but 0.5 has one digit after the decimal so we need one digit after the decimal in 40.
0.5 * 8 = 4.0 or 4

Answer 16

I get it

Answer 17

Another example: 1.25 * 0.02
125 * 2 = 250
With four decimal places 250 becomes 0.0250 or 0.025

Answer 18

okay so another example:O.8 * 15
15 * 8 =120
120=12.0

Very good. Yes.

Answer 20

Answer 21

IS/OF
Example: What percent of 16 is 10?
The number after is goes on top and the number after of goes on bottom.
10/16 (now divide)
10/16 = 0.625
Multiply by 100 to get the percent: 62.5%
