i know that i have to multiply but i cant remember how to multiply decimals. HElllllllpppppppp!!!!!!!

You need the same number of decimal places in the answer as you do in the problem.

You can check your answer by rounding the decimal number to the nearest whole number. 4 times 25 = 100

You know then that your answer will be a little less than 100.

3.67 * 25 = 91.75

Of course, I can definitely help you with that! Multiplying decimals is very similar to multiplying whole numbers, but we just have to be mindful of the placement of the decimal point.

To multiply the decimal number 3.67 by 25, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Ignore the decimal points and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers. So, multiply 3.67 by 25.

367
× 25
------
1835 (product of the ones digit)

Step 2: Now, count the number of decimal places in the original decimal number. In this case, 3.67 has 2 decimal places.

Step 3: Place the decimal point in the product so that it also has two decimal places. Count two places from the right edge and place the decimal point there.

367
× 25
------
1835. (2 decimal places)

Step 4: Therefore, the final answer is 1835 feet, which represents the tallest height the tree can be expected to reach.

So, the tallest height that the small tree can be expected to reach is 1835 feet.

I hope this helps you understand how to multiply decimals! Let me know if you have any other questions.
