Lesson 3.2 and 3.4
Multiplying Decimals by Decimals
Multiplying Decimals by Decimals
Objective: To understand how to estimate
and multiply decimals by decimals.
Multiplying Decimals by Decimals
At the end of this lesson you should be able to
answer the following questions.
How do you determine which place value to use when
multiplying decimals by decimals?
Why is estimating not as helpful when multiplying very
small numbers?
Multiplying Decimals by Decimals
To multiply decimals, multiply as normal and
then place the decimal point.
Multiplying Decimals by Decimals
Find the product of 8.7 and 2.8.
First round the numbers to the nearest whole
number to get an estimate.
What does 8.7 round to?
Digits from 0 to 4 round down and digits from
5-9 round up.
Multiplying Decimals by Decimals
Find the product of 8.7 and 2.8.
First round the numbers to the nearest whole
number to get an estimate.
What does 8.7 round to? 9
What does 2.8 round to?
Multiplying Decimals by Decimals
Find the product of 8.7 and 2.8.
First round the numbers to the nearest whole
number to get an estimate.
What does 8.7 round to? 9
What does 2.8 round to? 3
Multiplying Decimals by Decimals
Find the product of 8.7 and 2.8.
First round the numbers to the nearest whole
number to get an estimate.
9 x 3 = 27, so
8.7 x 2.8 ≈ 27
Multiplying Decimals by Decimals
Find the product of 8.7 and 2.8.
To multiply decimals.
Step 1 – Stack the numbers with the number
with the most digits on top.
8.7
x 2.8
(Since both numbers have 2 digits, either could be
on top)
