Solved examples on word problems on multiplication of decimal fractions:
1. Find the product of 12.2 and 4.
12.2
× 4
48.8
Here the multiplicant contains one decimal place, so the product must contain one decimal place.
2. Price of 1
metre cloth is $ 49.75. Find the price of 16 metres of cloth.
Price of 1 metre cloth = 49.75
Price of 15 metres of cloth = × 6
29850
49750
796.00
Thus, price of 16 metres of cloth = $ 796
3. A train can run 45.8 km in one hour. What will be the distance travelled by the train in 5 hours?
