Mastering Decimal and Whole Number Multiplication

The video tutorial explains how to multiply a decimal by a whole number using two methods: a visual model and the standard algorithm. The visual model uses a 10x10 grid to represent hundredths, demonstrating the multiplication process by filling in squares. The standard algorithm involves lining up numbers and multiplying each place value, ensuring the correct placement of the decimal point in the final product. Both methods result in the same product of 63 hundredths.

What are the two methods mentioned for multiplying a decimal by a whole number?

• Using a visual model and the standard algorithm

• Using a calculator and mental math

• Using division and multiplication

• Using addition and subtraction
