Question

Tell whether the decimal point has been placed correctly in the product. If not, rewrite the product with the decimal point correctly placed.
67.9x8.4=5,703.6

Answer 1

To determine if the decimal point has been placed correctly in the product \(67.9 \times 8.4\), we first need to calculate the product.

- Multiply \(67.9\) by \(8.4\):

\[
67.9 \times 8.4 = 569.16
\]

Now, let's compare the calculated result \(569.16\) with the given product \(5,703.6\).

Clearly, \(5,703.6\) is not correct as the calculated product is \(569.16\).

The correct placement of the decimal point in the product should be:

\[
67.9 \times 8.4 = 569.16
\]

So, the correct product with the decimal point properly placed is **569.16**.
