Question

I keep on getting the answer wrong when I multiply can anybody work out this for me 80* 2.36
Every timei multiply I always get the Wong answer

Answer 1

The answer is 188.8, what do you get?

Answer 2

in this case it's not that hard to do it from your head

\[80 * 2 = 8*2*10\]=160
\[80*0.3 = 8*10*\frac{ 3 }{ 10 } = 8*3*\frac{ 10 }{ 10 } = 8*3\]=24
\[80*0.06=8*0.6=\frac{ 8*6 }{ 10 }=\frac{ 48 }{ 10 }=4.8\]

add everything up
160+24+4.8 = 188.8
