Example Question #21 : How To Multiply
Which expression is equal to 24?
Remember the order of operations, so work inside parentheses first:
Then everything else:
Example Question #22 : How To Multiply
What is the product of and ?
The term "product" indicates multiplication.
Example Question #22 : How To Multiply
Which expression is equal to ?
One should use order of operations (PEMDAS) to solve this equation. In the equation , order of operations says to first solve the expressions inside the parentheses:
.
Multiplication is next in this equation, according to order of operations:
.
Subtraction comes last:
.
Example Question #23 : How To Multiply
What is the product of and ?
A product is the result of a multiplication problem.
.
Therefore, the product of and is equal to .
Example Question #24 : How To Multiply
Yesterday, Joe's dad worked for 7.5 hours at a rate of $12.50 per hour. Approximately how much money did he earn yesterday?
$166
$95
$125
$75
$60
$95
First look at the answer choices. They are all at least $15 apart from one another, so we know that we can approximate the answer without worrying about being off by $1 or so.
Let's round 7.5 hours up to 8 hours, and then $12.50 down to $12. Working 8 hours at a rate of $12 per hour gives us a total earnings of $96. The closest answer choice is $95, so that's our answer.
The exact total is in fact $93.75, which is very close to both the answer choice and our approximation.
Example Question #25 : How To Multiply
Find the product. Round to the nearest tenths place.
Multiply vertically.
After finding the product, don't forget to move the decimal in FOUR places because each number has 2 decimal places .
The product is .
Then, round to the nearest tenths place .
Example Question #26 : How To Multiply
What is a reasonable estimate for
First, estimate each number. 2.3 rounds to about 2, while 3.1 rounds to about 3. Then, mulitply 2 and 3.
Example Question #27 : How To Multiply
How many millimeters are in 6 meters?
There are 1,000 mm in each meter. Therefore, you must multiply 6 by 1,000 to get 6,000 millimeters.
Example Question #194 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
A wooden board is feet long. What is the length of the board in inches?
There are inches in a foot. If the board is feet long, you would multiply this length by the conversion to get the number of inches.
To simplify the multiplication, you can break up the decimal:
is the correct answer.
Example Question #27 : Operations
What is the square root of 144?
The square root operation is the inverse of a number raised to the second power. In other words, we are looking for the number that, when squared, equals 144.
When the number 12 is multiplied by itself, the product is 144.
Therefore, 12 is the correct answer.
