Exercise 1 Page 98

We want to find the following product. 300 * 0.02* 8 Let's start by multiplying 300 by 0.02. We can perform the multiplication just as we do with two whole numbers. At first, we ignore any decimal points. 300 * 2 = 600 Next, we will place the decimal point in the product by counting the number of decimal places in each factor.

We got that 300 times 0.02 is equal to 6. Finally, we can calculate the given product. (300 * 0.02)* 8 = 6* 8 = 48
