Answer 1

To find the product of \( 2.3 \times 0.5 \) using partial products, you can follow these steps:

1. **Break down the numbers**:
- For \( 2.3 \), you can break it down into \( 2 \) and \( 0.3 \).
- For \( 0.5 \), keep it as is.

2. **Calculate the partial products**:
- Calculate \( 2 \times 0.5 \).
- Calculate \( 0.3 \times 0.5 \).

3. **Add the partial products together**:
- Add the results from the calculations above to find the final product.

Now, if simplistically summarizing the steps:

1. Break \( 2.3 \) into \( 2 + 0.3 \).
2. Calculate \( 2 \times 0.5 = 1.0 \).
3. Calculate \( 0.3 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \).
4. Add \( 1.0 + 0.15 = 1.15 \).

So the complete method involves breaking down the numbers, calculating their respective partial products, and finally summing them for the total result. The product of \( 2.3 \times 0.5 \) is \( 1.15 \).
