Question

Find the product of each of the following: $0.125\times 5$

Answer 1

In order to multiply a decimal number with a whole number, ignore the decimal point, multiply and place the decimal point in the product.

$125\times 5625$

Here, the number of decimal places in the given numbers is three. So, we will place the decimal after three places from the right side.

Hence, $0.125\times 5=0.625$
