Question

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

0.25 × 0.8 =

(a) 0.02 (b) 0.2 (c) 0.002 (d) 2

Answer 1

In order to find the product, we first multiply 8 by 25.

We have, 25 × 8 = 200

Now, 0.25 has 2 decimal places and 0.8 has 1 decimal place.

The sum of the decimal places is 2 + 1 = 3.

So, the product must contain 3 places of decimals.

∴ 0.25 × 0.8 = 0.200 = 0.2

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
