Circle the expression with the greater value. 1.) \( 3.2 \cdot 0.009 \quad 0.09 \cdot 3.2 \quad \) They have the same value.

Let's break it down! First expression: \( 3.2 \cdot 0.009 = 0.0288 \). Second expression: \( 0.09 \cdot 3.2 = 0.288 \). So, we see that \( 0.288 > 0.0288 \). Therefore, the greater value is the second expression: \( 0.09 \cdot 3.2 \). Now, here’s a fun fact: Multiplication can sometimes be tricky because of the placement of decimals! Imagine if numbers were like tiny parties – the more “friends” (or digits) you have to the left of the decimal point, the bigger the party (value) gets! And when multiplying decimals, make sure to carefully count how many total decimal places are in your numbers before you place the decimal in the answer. It’s a sneaky little step that can change your answer from a fun party to a major flop!
