Worked-out problems to find the product of a decimal by a whole number:
Read the above explanation step-by-step and try to understand the examples on multiplication of decimals.
1. Find the product:
(i) 5.36 × 8
= 536 × 8 (Find the product without the decimal point)
= 4288
Since, 5.36 has two decimal places.
Therefore, 5.36 × 8 will also have two decimal places.
Therefore, 5.36 × 8 = 42.88
(ii) 11.71 × 12
= 1171 × 12 (Find the product without the decimal point)
= 14052
Since, 140.52 has two decimal places.
Therefore, 11.71 × 12 will also have two decimal places.
Therefore, 11.71 × 12 = 140.52

2. The length and breadth of a rectangle are 8.15 m and 3.36 m. Find the area of the rectangle.
Solution:
Length of the rectangle = 8.15 m
Breadth of the rectangle = 3.36 m
Area of the rectangle = (8.15 × 3.36) m2 = 27.384 m23. The length and breadth of a rectangle are 12.82 m and 5 m. Find the area of the rectangle.
Solution:
Length of the rectangle = 12.82 m
Breadth of the rectangle = 5 m
Area of the rectangle = (12.82 × 5) m2 = 64.1 m2● Related Concept
