Multiplying Decimals: 310 x 0.0002 = 0.062

Answer 1

To multiply the decimals, we can first ignore the decimal points and multiply as if they were whole numbers, then adjust for the decimals.

1. Multiply 310 by 2 (ignoring the decimal in 0.0002): \[ 310 \times 2 = 620 \]

2. Next, we need to account for the decimal places. The number 0.0002 has 4 decimal places.

3. Therefore, we place the decimal point 4 places from the right in 620: \[ 620 \rightarrow 0.0620 \text{ (which is just 0.062)} \]

So, the correct multiplication of 310 and 0.0002 is indeed: \[ 310 \times 0.0002 = 0.062 \]

Your statement is correct!
