The multiplication [tex]20880 \times \dfrac{2}{5}[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{8352}.[/tex]
Further explanation:
Always use the PEDMAS rule to solve the grouping of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division.
Here, P is parenthesis, E is exponents, M is multiplication, D is division, A is addition and S is subtraction.
Given:
The expression is [tex]20880 \times \dfrac{2}{5}.[/tex]
Explanation:
The given expression is [tex]20880 \times \dfrac{2}{5}.[/tex]
Consider the expression [tex]20880 \times \dfrac{2}{5}[/tex] as A.
[tex]A = 20880 \times \dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]
Solve the above expression to obtain the simplest form.
[tex]\begin{aligned}A&= 20880 \times \frac{2}{5}\\&= \frac{{41760}}{5}\\&= 8352\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
Another way of solving the expression can be expressed as follows,
First divide 2 by 5.
[tex]\begin{aligned}b&= \frac{2}{5}\\&= 0.4\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
Now multiply 20880 to 0.4.
[tex]\begin{aligned}A&= 20880 \times 0.4\\&= 8352\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The multiplication [tex]20880[/tex] times [tex]\dfrac{2}{5} \:{\text{is}\: \boxed{8352}.[/tex]
