Estimating - Decimal x Whole Number
• Problem: Ben, Barry and Brian each have 27
cents. How much do they have altogether?
• The equation: 0.27 x 3 = ?
• To solve: use estimation
 0.27 x 3 =
 0.30 x
3 = 0.90 or approximately 90 cents.

Area Model - Decimal x Whole Number
Problem: Ben, Barry and Brian each have 27
cents. How much do they have altogether?
0.27 x 3 = 0.27 + 0.27 + 0.27
0.27 x 3 = 0.81

Multiplying - Decimal x Whole Number
• Problem: Brendon was selling a car for $1,000. He
had to charge sales tax of 0.65. How much tax did
he charge?
The equation: 1,000 x 0.65 = Sales Tax
Step 1: Multiply 0.65 x 100 (or 102) = 65
Step 2: Multiply 1,000 x 65 = 65,000
Step 3: Divide 65,000 by 100 = 65,000 ÷ 100 (or 102) = 650
The tax charge is $650.
• When you multiply a decimal to get a whole number 0.65 x 100,
the answer must be divided by 100 to find the actual answer.

Multiply - Decimal x Decimal
• What is the product of 1.3 x 1.8 = ?
1.0
0.3
Find the partial products.
1 x 1 =1
1.0
1.0 x1.0 = 1.0
1.0 x 0.3 = 0.3
1.0 x 0.8 = 0.8
0.3 x 0.8 = 0.24
1 x 0.3
=
0.3
Then add the partial product.
0.8
1 x 0.8 = 0.8
0.8 x
0.3=
0.24
1.0 x1.0 = 1.0
1.0 x 0.3 = 0.3
1.0 x 0.8 = 0.8
0.3 x 0.8 = 0.24
2.34
The product of 1.3 x 1.8 = 2.34
