Explain how 3 * 65 could be used for (0.03) * (0.65)
0.03 is to 2 decimal places and 0.65 is also to 2 decimal places
In total, we have: [tex]2 + 2 = 4[/tex]
So, to get (0.03) * (0.65) from 3 * 65.
Simply calculate the product: 3 * 65
Then divide by 10 to the power of the sum of the decimal places i.e. 4
This is shown below
(0.03) * (0.65)
Express as fraction
[tex](0.03) * (0.65) = \frac{3}{100} * \frac{65}{100}[/tex]
[tex](0.03) * (0.65) = \frac{3*65}{100*100}[/tex]
[tex](0.03) * (0.65) = \frac{3*65}{10^2*10^2}[/tex]
[tex](0.03) * (0.65) = \frac{3*65}{10^4}[/tex]
