Question

Find the product of 0.0126 and 15.

• A. 0.189

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0.189
To find $0.0126\times 15,$ we first ignore the decimal point and multiply the numbers.


0.0126 has 4 decimal places and 15 has none. Thus, the product should have a total of 4 decimal places.

Shifting the decimal point in 1890.0 four places to the left, we get:

$\underset{–}{1890}.0\to 0.1890$

$\therefore 0.0126\times 15=0.1890=0.189$
