Drag all the steps necessary into the box to find the product of 2.3×0.5 use partial products

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

1. Break down the numbers into whole numbers and decimals:

   • \(2.3\) can be expressed as \(2 + 0.3\).
   • \(0.5\) can be treated as \(0.5\).

2. Distribute \(0.5\) to each part of \(2.3\):

   • Calculate \(2 \times 0.5\).
   • Calculate \(0.3 \times 0.5\).

3. Calculate each partial product:

   • \(2 \times 0.5 = 1.0\)
   • \(0.3 \times 0.5 = 0.15\)

4. Add the partial products together:

   • \(1.0 + 0.15 = 1.15\)

5. Conclusion:

   • The product of \(2.3 \times 0.5 = 1.15\).

With these steps, you can systematically find the product using partial products.
