Decimal Multiplication Basics

This document provides a lesson on multiplying decimals. It explains that when multiplying numbers with decimal points, the total number of decimal places in the problem must be counted and that number of decimal places included in the answer. Examples are provided such as 3.51 x 1.4 = 4.914 since there are 3 decimal places total. Shortcuts for multiplying by multiples of ten are also explained, such as shifting the decimal left when multiplying by tenths or right when multiplying by hundreds. Practice problems with solutions are given at the end.

Lesson 5: Multiplication with

Decimals
Math – Decimals
Lesson # 4 – Addition & Subtraction

Try it yourself

2.89 + 1.5 =

20 + 8.2 =

12.99 – 8.1 =

8.4 – 5.555 =

End of Lesson 2
Answer:
2.89 + 1.5 = 4.39

20 + 8.2 = 28.2

12.99 – 8.1 = 4.89

8.4 – 5.555 = 2.845


Let’s Review
Decimal - a number with a fraction of tenths,
hundredths, etc. written after a decimal
point.
Decimal point - the (.) between a whole
number and fractions of tenths, hundredths,
thousandths, etc.
Digit- any of the numerals 0-9, which may be
part of a larger number.

Lesson # 5 – Multiplication

This lesson explains how to multiply numbers that


have a decimal point.
Problem: You need to buy 12 cans of paint costing ₱5.29 each. How much
will you pay?

5.29
× 12
63.48

When multiplying numbers with decimal points, count the total


number of numbers to the right of the decimal point in the
problem and make sure the answer has the same number!
Math – Decimals
Lesson # 5 – Multiplication

 Don’t worry about the decimal until you’re done multiplying


everything
 First multiply, and then count up the places to the right of the
decimal point and put the decimal in the answer.

3.51 x 1.4  351


×14
1404
3 decimal +3510
places 4914  4.914

So, 3.51 x 1.4 = 4.914!


One more time!!!

 37.2 × 8.2 =

 .8 × .24 =

Lesson # 5 – Multiplication

 Remember to only count numbers to the RIGHT of the decimal


point.

2.3 × 0.0002  23
×2
46  0.00046  Sometimes you may see
.00046 instead of
5 decimal 0.00046. Both are
places right, but it’s more
common to put a 0 in
5 decimal the ones place.
places

So, 2.3 x 0.0002 = 0.00046!


One more time!!!

 7.2 × 0.0004 =

 0.002 × 4.2 =
Math – Decimals
Lesson # 5 – Multiplication

 There are some shortcuts you can take if you’re multiplying by a


multiple of 10. Multiples of 10 are things like 10, 100, 1000 and
also things like 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, etc.

shift the decimal left 4 places (if you move the decimal point right
(don’t see the decimal point it’s at the end) 2 spaces (100 has 2 0’s)
297 × 0.0001 = 0.0297 2.309 × 100 = 230.9

4 decimal

One more time!!!

 37.2 × .01 =

 37.2 × 1000 =

 37.2 × 10 =
Let’s try!!!

1. A group of friends go to a local fair. Jayson


spends ₱3.75. Maya spends 3 times as much as
Jayson. How much does Maya spend?

Lesson # 5 – Multiplication

EXERCISE 1.5

27.2 × 9.2 = 62.5 × 12.8 =

38 × 0.25 = 8.02 × 2.1 =

2.04 × 0.001 = 10.2 × 1.2 =

0.34 × 0.5 = 5.89 × 100 =

27.2 × 9.2 = 250.24 62.5 × 12.8 = 800


38 × 0.25 = 9.5 8.02 × 2.1 = 16.842
2.04 × 0.001 = 0.00204 10.2 × 1.2 = 12.24
0.34 × 0.5 = 0.17 5.89 × 100 = 589
