Drag all of the necessary steps into the box to find the product of 2.3 x 6.5 using partial products. Some choices may not used

1 answer

To find the product of 2.3 and 6.5 using partial products, you can follow these steps:

  1. Break down the numbers:

    • 2.3 can be broken down into 2 and 0.3.
    • 6.5 can be broken down into 6 and 0.5.
  2. Set up the partial products:

    • Calculate 2 x 6 = 12.
    • Calculate 2 x 0.5 = 1.
    • Calculate 0.3 x 6 = 1.8.
    • Calculate 0.3 x 0.5 = 0.15.
  3. Add all the partial products together:

    • Add the results: 12 + 1 + 1.8 + 0.15.
  4. Perform the addition:

    • First, add 12 + 1 = 13.
    • Then, add 13 + 1.8 = 14.8.
    • Finally, add 14.8 + 0.15 = 14.95.
  5. Round if necessary (optional) depending on context which might not be part of finding the product.

The final product of 2.3 x 6.5 using partial products is 14.95.

This is the sequence of steps using partial products:

  • Break down the numbers
  • Calculate the partial products
  • Add all the partial products together

You may not need all steps outlined if choices are limited, focus on these key actions.
