how do i find the product. Extimate to check or 0.5 x 28
half of 28 is...
You multiply to find the product.
But to estimate -- you know that 0.5 is 1/2.
What is half of 28??
To find the product of 0.5 and 28, you can multiply the two numbers together. The product is the result of multiplying two or more numbers. In this case, multiplying 0.5 by 28 gives you the product.
To calculate this:
1. Multiply the decimal 0.5 by the whole number 28. Start by ignoring the decimal point in 0.5 and treat it as if it were a whole number. Multiply 5 by 28, which gives you 140.
28
x 0.5
-----
140
2. Now, consider the decimal point. Since 0.5 has one decimal place, you need one decimal place in the product. Count from the right side of the product to place the decimal point. In this case, 140 has no decimal places, so you add the decimal point at the end.
28
x 0.5
-----
140.0
Therefore, the product of 0.5 and 28 is 140.0.
