The answer is 1.95.
To multiply 6.5 by 0.3, you can follow these steps:
1. Multiply 6.5 by 3 (without the decimal): 6.5 * 3 = 19.5
2. Since the decimal point in 0.3 is one place to the right, move the decimal point in the answer one place to the left to get the final result.
Therefore, the answer is 1.95.
To multiply 6.5 by 0.3, you can multiply the two numbers together.
To do this, multiply the whole numbers (6 and 0) together, which gives you 0.
Then, multiply the decimal parts (0.5 and 0.3). Multiply 0.5 by 3, which equals 1.5.
Now, write the answer as a decimal by adding the two results together. The result is 0 + 1.5 = 1.5.
Therefore, the answer to 6.5 multiplied by 0.3, written as a decimal, is 1.5.
