Find the product.
6.8 x 0.5
A) 0.034
B) 0.34
C) 3.4 (Correct Answer)
Explanation:
Using the standard multiplication process, 68 times 5 is found to be 340. There are two decimal places
involved in the expression (one in each factor), so the decimal point is moved two places to the left in
our product. The final answer is 3.40 (or 3.4).
