Question

Multiply the decimal number by a whole number.

$8.37\times 8$

Answer 1

Step 1: Ignore the decimal point and multiply the decimal number with the whole number with the usual multiplication.

$837\times 8=6696$

Step 2: Count the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the decimal number.

$8.\underline{37}\times 8$

In this case, we have 2 digits after the decimal point.

Step 3: Put the decimal point in the product by counting the same number of digits from its rightmost place.

$66\underline{.96}$

Therefore, $8.37\times 8=66.96$
