Multiply and find an estimate to check for the reason number correct place value for the decimal for 12.3x4.8=59.04.( 0. 12.5=60) yes the decimal point is in the correct place.0.(123.48=5,904) no the decimal point is not in the correct place . 0. ( 12.4=48) No the decimal point is not in the correct place. 0. (123.48=5,904) yes the decimal point is in the correct place.
The statement "0. 12.5=60" is incorrect. The correct value is 0.12 multiplied by 5 which equals 0.60.
The statement "0.(123.48=5,904)" is also incorrect. The correct value is 0.12 multiplied by 3.48 which equals 0.4176.
Therefore, the correct statements are:
- 12.3 x 4.8 ≈ 59.04 (decimal point is in the correct place)
- 0.12 x 5 = 0.60 (decimal point is in the correct place)
- 0.12348 x 48 ≈ 5.92904 (decimal point is in the correct place)
To find an estimate and check if the decimal point is in the correct place for the multiplication problem 12.3 x 4.8, follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply the whole numbers.
12 x 4 = 48
Step 2: Multiply the decimal parts as whole numbers.
0.3 x 0.8 = 0.24
Step 3: Add the products from Steps 1 and 2.
48 + 0.24 = 48.24
Therefore, the estimate for 12.3 x 4.8 is 48.24.
To check if the decimal point is in the correct place, compare the estimate (48.24) to the given correct answer (59.04).
Since the estimate is lower than the correct answer, the decimal point is not in the correct place.
