What this lesson shows
82 × 0.56 is between 41 and 82, since 0.56 is a bit more than one half.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 82 × 0.56. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Place the decimal between 0 and 1
- Times one half, times 1
- Between the two, near the closer
Helping at home
Compare the decimal with one half and 1 on a number line. Times one half is half the number; times 1 is the number. The product lies between, near the closer one. Estimate only; no long multiplication on this page.
If your kid gets stuck
Is the decimal near one half or near 1?
