Multiply: \( 98 \times 0.67= \)

To multiply 98 by 0.67, you can start by treating the numbers as if they are whole numbers. So, calculate \( 98 \times 67 = 6566 \). Since you are multiplying by a decimal, specifically 0.67, you'll need to place the decimal point in the answer. There are two decimal places in 0.67, so count two places from the right in 6566. This gives you 65.66. Thus, \( 98 \times 0.67 = 65.66 \). A nifty tip for multiplication can be to break down the second number. Instead of thinking of 0.67 as a decimal, you can split it into 0.60 and 0.07. So, you first calculate \( 98 \times 0.60 = 58.8 \) and then \( 98 \times 0.07 = 6.86 \). Finally, sum those two results: \( 58.8 + 6.86 = 65.66 \). This method not only makes it easier but also reinforces your skills in managing decimals!
