LESSON Multiply decimal x decimal

4.6 Decimal Multiplication

Area = Length x Width

This is a pan of brownies. Four tenths is showing. I am going to take 0.2 of what is there. How much (of the original pan) am I going to take?

0.2 of 0.4 =

0.2 x 0.4 =

I will need to cut the pan horizontally into tenths.

I cut the pan horizontally into 10 equal rows (tenths).

Now I will shade in 2 of those rows across to represent two tenths (0.2).

The part that overlaps is the product...or how much of the original pan I am taking.

Count how many small squares there are OVERLAPPING and write your product as a decimal.

There are 8 small squares that overlap.

0.2 x 0.4 = 0.08

Multiple Choice

Which color represents the product for 0.3 x 0.4 = 0.12?

• red

• light blue

Multiple Choice

This model shows the equation 0.3 x 0.4 = ?

(HINT: The purple part)

• 0.12

• 0.21

• 0.18

Multiple Choice

0.3 of 0.9 = ?

• I started with 0.9 (yellow vertical columns).

• Then I shaded 0.3 (blue horizontal rows)

• The product is the part that overlaps in green.

• 27 small squares are green

• 0.3 x 0.9 = 0.27
