1. Today we will multiply using decimals.
multiply = Multiply means to add all equal groups together a set number of times
Decimals=numbers less than zero LO

2. Multiplying Decimals
Remember the 100’s chart? When you multiply two numbers that are decimals, you get the product!
Here is a model of the product of 0.7 and 0.3.
0.7
0.3 1 1
Because 21 of the 100 squares are shaded, 0.7  0.3
= 0.21.

4. Multiply
Multiply means to add all equal groups together a set number of times
Example: 4 x 3=12 12 CD =

5. Decimal A decimal is a number less than 1. For example $0.70 10.50989
$25.50

6. Importance
When you purchase something in the store, you always need to know how much it will cost with sales tax.
It will help you on any tests!

Count the number of digits that follow the decimal.
2St step: 2 1
Check by using estimation.
Place the decimal.

9. Checking Reasonableness To check that the product in the example is reasonable, round each factor to the place value of the leading digit, then multiply. The leading digit of a number is the first nonzero digit.
5.82 6
Round to the nearest whole number.
0.41
0.4
Round to the nearest tenth.
Because 6  0.4 = 2.4, the product of the previous example is reasonable.

After you place the decimal point, you can drop any zeros at the end of an answer.
ANSWER
6.45  18 = 116.1
CHECK
Because 6  20 = 120, the product is reasonable.
