Of course! Multiplication is a basic arithmetic operation that involves combining two numbers to find their product. In this case, you want to multiply $42.25 by 0.67.
To perform this multiplication, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Set up the problem. Write down the two numbers you want to multiply next to each other, like this:
$42.25
× 0.67
Step 2: Multiply the ones place. Begin by multiplying the ones digit of the bottom number (0.67) by the ones digit of the top number ($42.25). In this case, neither number has a ones digit, so we can skip this step.
Step 3: Multiply tenths. Move to the tenths place (to the right of the decimal point) in both numbers. In this case, we multiply 2 in $42.25 by 7 in 0.67:
$42.25
× 0.67
______
25.9
Step 4: Multiply hundredths. Move to the hundredths place in both numbers. Multiply 4 by 0.67:
$42.25
× 0.67
______
25.9
16
______
28.42
Step 5: Add the partial products. Combine the products from Steps 3 and 4 together:
$42.25
× 0.67
______
25.9
+ 16
______
28.42
Step 6: Determine the number of decimal places. Count the number of decimal places (digits to the right of the decimal point) in both numbers. In this case, $42.25 has two decimal places, and 0.67 has two decimal places.
Step 7: Place the decimal point. To get the final answer, place the decimal point in the product so that it has the same number of decimal places as the combined decimal places in the original numbers. Since we have two decimal places, the final answer is:
$42.25 × 0.67 = $28.42
So, when you multiply $42.25 by 0.67, the product is $28.42.
