Question

1. 23×59.8 =

Explanation:

Step1: Rewrite 59.8 as a difference

$59.8 = 60 - 0.2$

Step2: Apply distributive property

$23 \times (60 - 0.2) = 23 \times 60 - 23 \times 0.2$

Step3: Calculate each product

$23 \times 60 = 1380$, $23 \times 0.2 = 4.6$

Step4: Subtract the two results

$1380 - 4.6 = 1375.4$

Answer:

1375.4
