2. Guys, today our lesson will be somewhat unusual, because I will not be teaching it alone, but with my friend. And my friend is also unusual, you will see him now. (A cartoon computer appears on the screen.) My friend has a name and he can talk. What's your name, buddy? Komposha replies: “My name is Komposha.” Are you ready to help me today? YES! Well then, let's start the lesson.

Today I received an encrypted cyphergram, guys, which we must solve and decipher together. (A poster is hung on the board with an oral calculation for adding and subtracting decimal fractions, as a result of which the children receive the following code 523914687. )

5 2 3 9 1 4 6 8 7
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Komposha helps decipher the received code. The result of decoding is the word MULTIPLICATION. Multiplication is the key word of the topic of today's lesson. The topic of the lesson is displayed on the monitor: “Multiplying a decimal fraction by a natural number”

Guys, we know how to multiply natural numbers. Today we will look at multiplying decimal numbers by a natural number. Multiplying a decimal fraction by a natural number can be considered as a sum of terms, each of which is equal to this decimal fraction, and the number of terms is equal to this natural number. For example: 5.21 ·3 = 5.21 + 5.21 + 5.21 = 15.63 This means 5.21·3 = 15.63. Presenting 5.21 as a common fraction to a natural number, we get

And in this case we got the same result: 15.63. Now, ignoring the comma, instead of the number 5.21, take the number 521 and multiply it by this natural number. Here we must remember that in one of the factors the comma has been moved two places to the right. When multiplying the numbers 5, 21 and 3, we get a product equal to 15.63. Now in this example we move the comma to the left two places. Thus, by how many times one of the factors was increased, by how many times the product was decreased. Based on the similarities of these methods, we will draw a conclusion.

To multiply a decimal fraction by a natural number, you need to:
1) without paying attention to the comma, multiply natural numbers;
2) in the resulting product, separate as many digits from the right with a comma as there are in the decimal fraction.

The following examples are displayed on the monitor, which we analyze together with Komposha and the guys: 5.21·3 = 15.63 and 7.624·15 = 114.34. Then I show multiplication by a round number 12.6·50 = 630. Next, I move on to multiplying a decimal fraction by a place value unit. I show the following examples: 7.423 ·100 = 742.3 and 5.2·1000 = 5200. So, I introduce the rule for multiplying a decimal fraction by a digit unit:

To multiply a decimal fraction by digit units 10, 100, 1000, etc., you need to move the decimal point in this fraction to the right by as many places as there are zeros in the digit unit.

I finish my explanation by expressing the decimal fraction as a percentage. I introduce the rule:

To express a decimal fraction as a percentage, you must multiply it by 100 and add the % sign.

I’ll give an example on a computer: 0.5 100 = 50 or 0.5 = 50%.

4. At the end of the explanation, I give the guys homework, which is also displayed on the computer monitor: № 1030, № 1034, № 1032.

5. In order for the guys to rest a little, we are doing a mathematical physical education session together with Komposha to consolidate the topic. Everyone stands up, shows the solved examples to the class, and they must answer whether the example was solved correctly or incorrectly. If the example is solved correctly, then they raise their arms above their heads and clap their palms. If the example is not solved correctly, the guys stretch their arms to the sides and stretch their fingers.

6. And now you have rested a little, you can solve the tasks. Open your textbook to page 205, № 1029. In this task you need to calculate the value of the expressions:

The tasks appear on the computer. As they are solved, a picture appears with the image of a boat that floats away when fully assembled.

No. 1031 Calculate:

By solving this task on a computer, the rocket gradually folds up; after solving the last example, the rocket flies away. The teacher gives a little information to the students: “Every year, spaceships take off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome from Kazakhstan’s soil to the stars. Kazakhstan is building its new Baiterek cosmodrome near Baikonur.

No. 1035. Problem.

How far will a passenger car travel in 4 hours if the speed of the passenger car is 74.8 km/h.

This task is accompanied by sound design and a brief condition of the task displayed on the monitor. If the problem is solved, correctly, then the car begins to move forward until the finish flag.

№ 1033. Write the decimals as percentages.

0,2 = 20%; 0,5 = 50%; 0,75 = 75%; 0,92 = 92%; 1,24 =1 24%; 3,5 = 350%; 5,61= 561%.

By solving each example, when the answer appears, a letter appears, resulting in a word Well done.

The teacher asks Komposha why this word would appear? Komposha replies: “Well done, guys!” and says goodbye to everyone.

The teacher sums up the lesson and gives grades.

In this article we will look at the action of multiplying decimals. Let's start by stating the general principles, then show how to multiply one decimal fraction by another and consider the method of multiplication by a column. All definitions will be illustrated with examples. Then we will look at how to correctly multiply decimal fractions by ordinary, as well as mixed and natural numbers (including 100, 10, etc.)

In this material, we will only touch on the rules for multiplying positive fractions. Cases with negative numbers are dealt with separately in articles on multiplying rational and real numbers.

Let us formulate general principles that must be followed when solving problems involving multiplying decimal fractions.

Let us first remember that decimal fractions are nothing more than a special form of writing ordinary fractions, therefore, the process of multiplying them can be reduced to a similar one for ordinary fractions. This rule works for both finite and infinite fractions: after converting them to ordinary fractions, it is easy to multiply with them according to the rules we have already learned.

Let's see how such problems are solved.

Example 1

Calculate the product of 1.5 and 0.75.

Solution: First, let's replace decimal fractions with ordinary ones. We know that 0.75 is 75/100, and 1.5 is 15/10. We can reduce the fraction and select the whole part. We will write the resulting result 125 1000 as 1, 125.

Answer: 1 , 125 .

We can use the column counting method, just like for natural numbers.

Example 2

Multiply one periodic fraction 0, (3) by another 2, (36).

First, let's reduce the original fractions to ordinary ones. We will get:

0 , (3) = 0 , 3 + 0 , 03 + 0 , 003 + 0 , 003 + . . . = 0 , 3 1 - 0 , 1 = 0 , 3 9 = 3 9 = 1 3 2 , (36) = 2 + 0 , 36 + 0 , 0036 + . . . = 2 + 0 , 36 1 - 0 , 01 = 2 + 36 99 = 2 + 4 11 = 2 4 11 = 26 11

Therefore, 0, (3) · 2, (36) = 1 3 · 26 11 = 26 33.

The resulting ordinary fraction can be converted to decimal form by dividing the numerator by the denominator in a column:

Answer: 0 , (3) · 2 , (36) = 0 , (78) .

If we have infinite non-periodic fractions in the problem statement, then we need to perform preliminary rounding (see the article on rounding numbers if you have forgotten how to do this). After this, you can perform the multiplication action with already rounded decimal fractions. Let's give an example.

Example 3

Calculate the product of 5, 382... and 0, 2.

Solution

In our problem we have an infinite fraction that must first be rounded to hundredths. It turns out that 5.382... ≈ 5.38. It makes no sense to round the second factor to hundredths. Now you can calculate the required product and write down the answer: 5.38 0.2 = 538 100 2 10 = 1 076 1000 = 1.076.

Answer: 5.382…·0.2 ≈ 1.076.

The column counting method can be used not only for natural numbers. If we have decimals, we can multiply them in exactly the same way. Let's derive the rule:

Definition 1

Multiplying decimal fractions by column is performed in 2 steps:

1. Perform column multiplication, not paying attention to commas.

2. Place a decimal point in the final number, separating it with as many digits on the right side as both factors contain decimal places together. If the result is not enough numbers for this, add zeros to the left.

Let's look at examples of such calculations in practice.

Example 4

Multiply the decimals 63, 37 and 0, 12 by columns.

Solution

First, let's multiply numbers, ignoring decimal points.

Now we need to put the comma in the right place. It will separate the four digits on the right side because the sum of the decimals in both factors is 4. There is no need to add zeros, because enough signs:

Answer: 3.37 0.12 = 7.6044.

Example 5

Calculate how much 3.2601 times 0.0254 is.

Solution

We count without commas. We get the following number:

We will put a comma separating 8 digits on the right side, because the original fractions together have 8 decimal places. But our result has only seven digits, and we cannot do without additional zeros:

Answer: 3.2601 · 0.0254 = 0.08280654.

How to multiply a decimal by 0.001, 0.01, 01, etc.

Multiplying decimals by such numbers is common, so it is important to be able to do it quickly and accurately. Let's write down a special rule that we will use for this multiplication:

Definition 2

If we multiply a decimal by 0, 1, 0, 01, etc., we end up with a number similar to the original fraction, with the decimal point moved to the left the required number of places. If there are not enough numbers to transfer, you need to add zeros to the left.

So, to multiply 45, 34 by 0, 1, you need to move the decimal point in the original decimal fraction by one place. We will end up with 4, 534.

Example 6

Multiply 9.4 by 0.0001.

Solution

We will have to move the decimal point four places according to the number of zeros in the second factor, but the numbers in the first factor are not enough for this. We assign the necessary zeros and get that 9.4 · 0.0001 = 0.00094.

Answer: 0 , 00094 .

For infinite decimals we use the same rule. So, for example, 0, (18) · 0, 01 = 0, 00 (18) or 94, 938... · 0, 1 = 9, 4938.... and etc.

The process of such multiplication is no different from the action of multiplying two decimal fractions. It is convenient to use the column multiplication method if the problem statement contains a final decimal fraction. In this case, it is necessary to take into account all the rules that we talked about in the previous paragraph.

Example 7

Calculate how much 15 · 2.27 is.

Solution

Let's multiply the original numbers with a column and separate two commas.

Answer: 15 · 2.27 = 34.05.

If we multiply a periodic decimal fraction by a natural number, we must first change the decimal fraction to an ordinary one.

Example 8

Calculate the product of 0 , (42) and 22 .

Let us reduce the periodic fraction to ordinary form.

0 , (42) = 0 , 42 + 0 , 0042 + 0 , 000042 + . . . = 0 , 42 1 - 0 , 01 = 0 , 42 0 , 99 = 42 99 = 14 33

0, 42 22 = 14 33 22 = 14 22 3 = 28 3 = 9 1 3

We can write the final result in the form of a periodic decimal fraction as 9, (3).

Answer: 0 , (42) 22 = 9 , (3) .

Infinite fractions must first be rounded before calculations.

Example 9

Calculate how much 4 · 2, 145... will be.

Solution

Let's round the original infinite decimal fraction to hundredths. After this we come to multiplying a natural number and a final decimal fraction:

4 2.145… ≈ 4 2.15 = 8.60.

Answer: 4 · 2, 145… ≈ 8, 60.

How to multiply a decimal by 1000, 100, 10, etc.

Multiplying a decimal fraction by 10, 100, etc. is often encountered in problems, so we will analyze this case separately. The basic rule of multiplication is:

Definition 3

To multiply a decimal fraction by 1000, 100, 10, etc., you need to move its decimal point to 3, 2, 1 digits depending on the multiplier and discard the extra zeros on the left. If there are not enough numbers to move the comma, we add as many zeros to the right as we need.

Let's show with an example exactly how to do this.

Example 10

Multiply 100 and 0.0783.

Solution

To do this, we need to move the decimal point by 2 digits to the right. We will end up with 007, 83 The zeros on the left can be discarded and the result written as 7, 38.

Answer: 0.0783 100 = 7.83.

Example 11

Multiply 0.02 by 10 thousand.

Solution: We will move the comma four digits to the right. We don’t have enough signs for this in the original decimal fraction, so we’ll have to add zeros. In this case, three 0 will be enough. The result is 0, 02000, move the comma and get 00200, 0. Ignoring the zeros on the left, we can write the answer as 200.

Answer: 0.02 · 10,000 = 200.

The rule we have given will work the same in the case of infinite decimal fractions, but here you should be very careful about the period of the final fraction, since it is easy to make a mistake in it.

Example 12

Calculate the product of 5.32 (672) times 1,000.

Solution: first of all, we will write the periodic fraction as 5, 32672672672 ..., so the probability of making a mistake will be less. After this, we can move the comma to the required number of characters (three). The result will be 5326, 726726... Let's enclose the period in brackets and write the answer as 5,326, (726).

Answer: 5, 32 (672) · 1,000 = 5,326, (726) .

If the problem conditions contain infinite non-periodic fractions that must be multiplied by ten, one hundred, a thousand, etc., do not forget to round them before multiplying.

To perform multiplication of this type, you need to represent the decimal fraction as an ordinary fraction and then proceed according to the already familiar rules.

Example 13

Multiply 0, 4 by 3 5 6

Solution

​First, let's convert the decimal fraction to an ordinary fraction. We have: 0, 4 = 4 10 = 2 5.

We received the answer in the form of a mixed number. You can write it as a periodic fraction 1, 5 (3).

Answer: 1 , 5 (3) .

If an infinite non-periodic fraction is involved in the calculation, you need to round it to a certain number and then multiply it.

Example 14

Calculate the product 3, 5678. . . · 2 3

Solution

We can represent the second factor as 2 3 = 0, 6666…. Next, round both factors to the thousandth place. After this, we will need to calculate the product of two final decimal fractions 3.568 and 0.667. Let's count with a column and get the answer:

The final result must be rounded to thousandths, since it was to this digit that we rounded the original numbers. It turns out that 2.379856 ≈ 2.380.

Answer: 3, 5678. . . · 2 3 ≈ 2, 380

I . Organizing time.

Hello children, I would like to start today’s lesson with these words.

Who doesn't notice anything

He doesn't study anything.

Who doesn't study anything

He's always whining and bored.

In the last lessons, we studied decimal fractions, learned to add and subtract decimals, compare and round.

Questions:

1. Formulate a rule for comparing decimal fractions. (To compare two decimal fractions, you must first equalize the number of decimal places in them, adding zeros to one of them on the right, and then discarding the comma, compare the resulting natural numbers).

2. How do you add and subtract decimals? (To add or subtract decimal fractions, you need to: equalize the number of decimal places in these fractions; write them one after the other so that the comma is written under the comma; perform addition or subtraction without paying attention to the comma; put a comma under the comma in the answer in these fractions).

II . Oral exercises (presentation PowerPoint )

1. arrange the numbers in ascending order:

8,07; 3,4; 0; 7,5; 0,1; 8,2; 1; 3,39 (Answer: 0; 0.1; 1; 3.39; 3.4; 7.5; 8.07; 8.2)

2. place commas in the right place



To complete the next task, please open your notebooks and write down today's date.

III . Getting to know new material

Before learning new material, children are given a task in rows:

Find the perimeter of a square with side: 1.23 m(green square) – 1 row; 3.4 m(yellow square) – 2nd row; 2.16 m(blue square) – 3rd row.


R - ?

R- ? R - ?

1.23 dm 3.4 dm 2.16 dm

1,23 + 1,23 + 1,23+ 1,23 = 4,92 (dm); 3.4 + 3.4 + 3.4 + 3.4 = 13,6 (dm);

2,16 + 2,16 + 2,16 + 2,16 = 8,64 (dm)

Write the results on the board.

How else could one find the same perimeter? (side length multiplied by 4). Now find the perimeter by multiplying the side length of the square by 4.

What were the difficulties?

When multiplying decimal fractions by a natural number.

So, a problem arose: how to multiply a decimal fraction by a natural number. Then let's formulate the topic of the lesson: “Multiplying decimal fractions by natural numbers.”

Let's multiply the numbers expressing the lengths of the sides by 4, ignoring the commas for now (students work on the spot) 123 4 = 492 34 4 = 136 216 4 = 864

Now compare your answers with the answers written on the board. Why is the comma in this particular place? Explain.

The conclusion is drawn: To multiply a decimal fraction by a natural number, you need to multiply it by this number, ignoring the comma. In the resulting product, separate as many digits from the right with a comma as there are in the decimal fraction separated by a comma.

Everyone is invited to multiply the numbers: 13,15 And 3 . (13.15 3 = 39.45)

It's very easy to multiply decimals by numbers 10, 100, 1000, etc.

Let's derive a rule for multiplying such numbers.

Row 1 multiplies a fraction 7,361 on 10

Row 2 multiplies fractions 7,361 on 100

3 rows multiply fractions 7,361 on 1000 ,

using the rule just derived.

Students provide answers and do conclusion:

To multiply a decimal fraction by 10, 100, 1000, etc., you need to move the decimal point in the product to the right by as many digits as there are zeros in the factor.

Follow these steps: 4.67 10; 5.781 100; 34.5 10; 56.7 100

Note, that in the last example, after moving the decimal point one digit to the right, we had to add one more zero.

1310 (oral)

Once again, I remember the rule for multiplying a decimal fraction by 10, 100, 1000, etc.

a) 6.42 · 10 = 642; 0,17 · 10 = 1,7;

3,8 · 10 = 38; 0.1 10 = 1; 0.01 10 = 0.1;

b) 6.387 · 100 = 638.7; 20.35 10 = 203.5;

0.006 100 = 0.6; 0.75 100 = 75; 0.1 100 = 10;

c) 45.48 · 1000 = 45480; 7.8 · 1000 = 7800;

0.00081 1000 = 0.81; 0.006 ·10000 = 60; 0.102 ·10000 = 1020.

IV . Fixing the material Problem solving

Task 1. Find the meaning of the expression and find out how many hours a day schoolchildren should spend in the fresh air: 0.138* 8 + 0.362*8

Solution:0,138* 8 + 0,362*8 = (0,138 + 0,362)*8 = =0,5*8 = 4

Answer: Schoolchildren should spend 4 hours a day in the fresh air.

Task 2. Petya spent 20.4 minutes completing his math homework, which was 1/5 of the total time spent on homework. Then Petya played a computer game, spending 2 times less time on it than on homework. How long did Petya spend behind the computer screen and would it harm his health?

Solution: 1) 20.4*5 = 102 (min.) – Petya spent on homework.

2) 102:2 = 52 (min) – Petya was behind the computer screen.

Answer: 52 min.

Task 3. 1 cubic meter of air in a ventilated room contains 300,000 dust particles, and in an unventilated room there are 1.5 times more. How many dust particles will there be in a math classroom if it is not ventilated? (Cabinet length - 8 m, width - 6 m, height 3 m).

Solution: 1) 300,000 * 1.5 = 450,000 (particles) - in 1 cubic meter. meter of unventilated room.

2) 6*8*3 = 144 (cubic meters) – cabinet volume.

3) 144 * 450,000 = 64,800,000 (particles) - contained in the mathematics classroom.

Answer: 64,800,000 dust particles.

V . Test work on the initial assimilation of new and repetition of the material covered .

A) Students are given Möbius strips on which are written examples of operations with decimal fractions (addition, subtraction and multiplication). It is proposed to solve examples on one side of the tape, then exchange tapes with a neighbor and complete the examples on the other side. But in the process of solving, students discover an interesting fact that, starting with the number 1.2, they come to it again, but as an answer. It turns out that the Möbius strip has only one side (more precisely, the surface).

Mobius strip tasks:

1,2 · 2 = 2,4 + 1,1 = 3,5 · 3 = 10,5 - 9,5 = 1 - 0,3 = 0,7 · 6 = 4,2 + 3,07 =

7,27 · 10 = 72,7 - 72 = 0,7 + 1,3 = 2 · 3.14 = 6,28 · 100 = 628 - 627,1 =

0,9 + 0,2 = 1,1 + 0,01 = 1,11 · 3 = 3,33 · 100 = 333 : 333 = 1 - 0,4 =

0,6 · 2 = 1,2

(children write the answer in each rectangle, which becomes the starting number for the next example) The work is submitted to the teacher for checking.

b) Teacher's message

Möbius strip– the simplest one-sided surface obtained by gluing a rectangle as follows:


Side AB is glued to side CD , but so that vertex A coincides with vertex C, and vertex B coincides with vertex D . Möbius August Ferdinand (1790 – 1868) – German mathematician. In his works on geometry, he established the existence of one-sided surfaces (in particular, the Möbius strip). They say that Mobius was helped to open his “leaf” by a maid who once sewed the ends of the ribbon incorrectly.

V) The teacher hands out a Mobius strip to the children and asks them to draw a line on its surface with a pen. Once again, students are convinced that such a sheet is one-sided.

To finally interest children, it is proposed to cut the Mobius strip along its length. One can only admire the surprise of children.

What happens if you cut a regular sheet of paper? Of course, two ordinary sheets of paper. More precisely, two halves of a sheet.

What happens if you cut this ring along the middle (this is the Möbius strip, or Möbius strip) along its entire length? Two half-width rings? But nothing like that. And what? We won't tell. Cut it yourself.

And here's what we got - the tape was twisted twice

Invite students to glue such a sheet at home, cut it once, then cut each ring again. In the next lesson, listen to their messages.

Let's ask ourselves: how many sides does this piece of paper have? Two, like anyone else? But nothing like that. It has ONE side. Don't believe me? If you want, check it out: try painting this ring on one side at home. We paint, we don’t break away, we don’t go to the other side. Painting... Painted over? Where is the second, clean side? No? Well, that's it.

VI. Summing up the lesson.

What new did you learn in class today?

Are you satisfied with the results?

What did you like about the job?

What difficulties did you experience?

How were they overcome?

Where would you suggest starting the next lesson?

I liked your work. I hope that having acquired knowledge and skills on your own, you will be able to apply them with confidence in the future.

Let's move on to studying the next action with decimal fractions, now we will take a comprehensive look at multiplying decimals. First, let's discuss the general principles of multiplying decimals. After this, we will move on to multiplying a decimal fraction by a decimal fraction, we will show how to multiply decimal fractions by a column, and we will consider solutions to examples. Next, we will look at multiplying decimal fractions by natural numbers, in particular by 10, 100, etc. Finally, let's talk about multiplying decimals by fractions and mixed numbers.

Let's say right away that in this article we will only talk about multiplying positive decimal fractions (see positive and negative numbers). The remaining cases are discussed in the articles multiplication of rational numbers and multiplying real numbers.

General principles of multiplying decimals

Let's discuss the general principles that should be followed when multiplying with decimals.

Since finite decimals and infinite periodic fractions are the decimal form of common fractions, multiplying such decimals is essentially multiplying common fractions. In other words, multiplying finite decimals, multiplying finite and periodic decimal fractions, and multiplying periodic decimals comes down to multiplying ordinary fractions after converting decimal fractions to ordinary ones.

Let's look at examples of applying the stated principle of multiplying decimal fractions.

Example.

Multiply the decimals 1.5 and 0.75.

Solution.

Let us replace the decimal fractions being multiplied with the corresponding ordinary fractions. Since 1.5=15/10 and 0.75=75/100, then . You can reduce the fraction, then isolate the whole part from the improper fraction, and it is more convenient to write the resulting ordinary fraction 1,125/1,000 as a decimal fraction 1.125.

Answer:

1.5·0.75=1.125.

It should be noted that it is convenient to multiply final decimal fractions in a column; we will talk about this method of multiplying decimal fractions in.

Let's look at an example of multiplying periodic decimal fractions.

Example.

Calculate the product of the periodic decimal fractions 0,(3) and 2,(36) .

Solution.

Let's convert periodic decimal fractions to ordinary fractions:

Then . You can convert the resulting ordinary fraction to a decimal fraction:

Answer:

0,(3)·2,(36)=0,(78) .

If among the multiplied decimal fractions there are infinite non-periodic ones, then all multiplied fractions, including finite and periodic ones, should be rounded to a certain digit (see rounding numbers), and then multiply the final decimal fractions obtained after rounding.

Example.

Multiply the decimals 5.382... and 0.2.

Solution.

First, let's round off an infinite non-periodic decimal fraction, rounding can be done to hundredths, we have 5.382...≈5.38. The final decimal fraction 0.2 does not need to be rounded to the nearest hundredth. Thus, 5.382...·0.2≈5.38·0.2. It remains to calculate the product of final decimal fractions: 5.38·0.2=538/100·2/10= 1,076/1,000=1.076.

Answer:

5.382…·0.2≈1.076.

Multiplying decimal fractions by column

Multiplying finite decimal fractions can be done in a column, similar to multiplying natural numbers in a column.

Let's formulate rule for multiplying decimal fractions by column. To multiply decimal fractions by column, you need to:

  • without paying attention to commas, perform multiplication according to all the rules of multiplication with a column of natural numbers;
  • in the resulting number, separate with a decimal point as many digits on the right as there are decimal places in both factors together, and if there are not enough digits in the product, then the required number of zeros must be added to the left.

Let's look at examples of multiplying decimal fractions by columns.

Example.

Multiply the decimals 63.37 and 0.12.

Solution.

Let's multiply decimal fractions in a column. First, we multiply the numbers, ignoring commas:

All that remains is to add a comma to the resulting product. She needs to separate 4 digits to the right, since the factors have a total of four decimal places (two in the fraction 3.37 and two in the fraction 0.12). There are enough numbers there, so you don’t have to add zeros to the left. Let's finish recording:

As a result, we have 3.37·0.12=7.6044.

Answer:

3.37·0.12=7.6044.

Example.

Calculate the product of the decimals 3.2601 and 0.0254.

Solution.

Having performed multiplication in a column without taking into account commas, we get the following picture:

Now in the product you need to separate the 8 digits on the right with a comma, since the total number of decimal places of the multiplied fractions is eight. But there are only 7 digits in the product, therefore, you need to add as many zeros to the left so that you can separate 8 digits with a comma. In our case, we need to assign two zeros:

This completes the multiplication of decimal fractions by column.

Answer:

3.2601·0.0254=0.08280654.

Multiplying decimals by 0.1, 0.01, etc.

Quite often you have to multiply decimal fractions by 0.1, 0.01, and so on. Therefore, it is advisable to formulate a rule for multiplying a decimal fraction by these numbers, which follows from the principles of multiplying decimal fractions discussed above.

So, multiplying a given decimal by 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, and so on gives a fraction that is obtained from the original one if in its notation the comma is moved to the left by 1, 2, 3 and so on digits, respectively, and if there are not enough digits to move the comma, then you need to add the required number of zeros to the left.

For example, to multiply the decimal fraction 54.34 by 0.1, you need to move the decimal point in the fraction 54.34 to the left by 1 digit, which will give you the fraction 5.434, that is, 54.34·0.1=5.434. Let's give another example. Multiply the decimal fraction 9.3 by 0.0001. To do this, we need to move the decimal point 4 digits to the left in the multiplied decimal fraction 9.3, but the notation of the fraction 9.3 does not contain that many digits. Therefore, we need to assign so many zeros to the left of the fraction 9.3 so that we can easily move the decimal point to 4 digits, we have 9.3·0.0001=0.00093.

Note that the stated rule for multiplying a decimal fraction by 0.1, 0.01, ... is also valid for infinite decimal fractions. For example, 0.(18)·0.01=0.00(18) or 93.938…·0.1=9.3938… .

Multiplying a decimal by a natural number

At its core multiplying decimals by natural numbers no different from multiplying a decimal by a decimal.

It is most convenient to multiply a final decimal fraction by a natural number in a column; in this case, you should adhere to the rules for multiplying decimal fractions in a column, discussed in one of the previous paragraphs.

Example.

Calculate the product 15·2.27.

Solution.

Let's multiply a natural number by a decimal fraction in a column:

Answer:

15·2.27=34.05.

When multiplying a periodic decimal fraction by a natural number, the periodic fraction should be replaced by an ordinary fraction.

Example.

Multiply the decimal fraction 0.(42) by the natural number 22.

Solution.

First, let's convert the periodic decimal fraction into an ordinary fraction:

Now let's do the multiplication: . This result as a decimal is 9,(3) .

Answer:

0,(42)·22=9,(3) .

And when multiplying an infinite non-periodic decimal fraction by a natural number, you must first perform rounding.

Example.

Multiply 4·2.145….

Solution.

Having rounded the original infinite decimal fraction to hundredths, we arrive at the multiplication of a natural number and a final decimal fraction. We have 4·2.145…≈4·2.15=8.60.

Answer:

4·2.145…≈8.60.

Multiplying a decimal by 10, 100, ...

Quite often you have to multiply decimal fractions by 10, 100, ... Therefore, it is advisable to dwell on these cases in detail.

Let's voice it rule for multiplying a decimal fraction by 10, 100, 1,000, etc. When multiplying a decimal fraction by 10, 100, ... in its notation, you need to move the decimal point to the right to 1, 2, 3, ... digits, respectively, and discard the extra zeros on the left; if the notation of the fraction being multiplied does not have enough digits to move the decimal point, then you need to add the required number of zeros to the right.

Example.

Multiply the decimal fraction 0.0783 by 100.

Solution.

Let's move the fraction 0.0783 two digits to the right, and we get 007.83. Dropping the two zeros on the left gives the decimal fraction 7.38. Thus, 0.0783·100=7.83.

Answer:

0.0783·100=7.83.

Example.

Multiply the decimal fraction 0.02 by 10,000.

Solution.

To multiply 0.02 by 10,000, we need to move the decimal point 4 digits to the right. Obviously, in the fraction 0.02 there are not enough digits to move the decimal point by 4 digits, so we will add a few zeros to the right so that the decimal point can be moved. In our example, it is enough to add three zeros, we have 0.02000. After moving the comma, we get the entry 00200.0. Discarding the zeros on the left, we have the number 200.0, which is equal to the natural number 200, which is the result of multiplying the decimal fraction 0.02 by 10,000.
