Answer 1

the right answer would be 0.13

Answer 2

Answer:

bismillah

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm pretty sure that this is decimal multiplication.

in decimal multiplication, always remember: 1)multiply as if decimals are not there and 2)place decimal in the final answer.

so, what we have to do is simply multiply 0.62 by 0.75.

first align the two numbers

0.62

0.75

then, multiply as if the decimals are not there. so the final answer would be 4650. now we have to place the decimal. so, we will have a look at our original problem (0.62 and 0.75) and see how many numbers are towards the right of our decimal point. in our first number (0.62) we have 2 numbers to the right of our decimal point. (6 and 2) and in our 2nd number (0.75) we also have 2 numbers to the right of our decimal point (7 and 5), which gives us a total of 4 numbers to the right of our decimal point.. so since our original problem has 4 numbers to the right of the decimal, our final answer has to have 4 numbers to the right of our decimal.. in our final answer we will count four numbers from the right and put the decimal point.

 .4650 = 0.4650

 

                      answer;

   0.62 x 0.75 = 0.465
