Respuesta :
Yes because any number multiplied by a decimal gets moved over to how ever many decimal places it went. EX 5(.12) = .6. Every time multiplying with a decimal, the answer will always be smaller and include a decimal.
The statement that Sarah made regarding the multiplication of a whole number and a decimal is not correct.
A whole number is a number that is without decimals or fractions. Examples of whole numbers are 1, 10, 1000.
A decimal is a number that consists of integers and non-integers. Examples of decimals are 1.1, 2.2 and 100.234. A number to two decimal places is a number that has two numbers after the decimal point. Examples are 10.23, 1.23
Let assume that the whole number is 2 and the decimal is 2.23. The product would be 4.46.
Let us assume the whole number is 100 and the decimal is 2.23. The product is 223.
This shows that it is not all the time that the product should have two decimal places.
