Which statement about the product is true? 5.643 * 4.6 continued
None of the above.
To find the value of the product 5.643 * 4.6, simply multiply the two numbers together.
Here is the step-by-step process:
1. Start by multiplying the digits in the ones place. In this case, 3 multiplied by 6 is equal to 18.
- Write down the 8 and carry over the 1 (since 18 is greater than 10).
5.643
×4.6
-------
18
2. Next, move one place to the left and multiply the digit in the tenths place (4) by the digit in the ones place (6). 4 multiplied by 6 is equal to 24.
- Add the carried-over 1 from the previous step. 24 + 1 equals 25.
- Write down the 5 and carry over the 2 (since 25 is greater than 10).
5.643
×4.6
-------
125
3. Then, move one place to the left and multiply the digit in the hundredths place (6) by the digit in the ones place (6). 6 multiplied by 6 is equal to 36.
- Add the carried-over 2 from the previous step. 36 + 2 equals 38.
- Write down the 8 and carry over the 3 (since 38 is greater than 10).
5.643
×4.6
-------
8125
4. Finally, move one place to the left and multiply the digit in the thousandths place (5) by the digit in the ones place (6). 5 multiplied by 6 is equal to 30.
- Add the carried-over 3 from the previous step. 30 + 3 equals 33.
- Write down the 3.
5.643
×4.6
-------
25875
Therefore, the value of the product 5.643 * 4.6 is 25,875.
