Explanation:

Let's solve the problems one by one.

Target Skill 1: Multiply Decimals

1. $0.5 \times 0.6$

Step1: Multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers.

$5 \times 6 = 30$

Step2: Count the total number of decimal places in the factors.

$0.5$ has 1 decimal place, $0.6$ has 1 decimal place. Total is 2.

Step3: Place the decimal in the product.

$30$ with 2 decimal places is $0.30$, which simplifies to $0.3$.

Step1: Multiply whole numbers.

$7 \times 8 = 56$

Step2: Count decimal places.

$0.7$ (1) + $0.08$ (2) = 3 decimal places.

Step3: Place decimal.

$56$ with 3 decimal places is $0.056$.

Step1: Multiply whole numbers.

$18 \times 2 = 36$

Step2: Count decimal places.

$0.18$ (2) + $0.02$ (2) = 4 decimal places.

Step3: Place decimal.

$36$ with 4 decimal places is $0.0036$.

Answer:

$0.3$

1. $0.7 \times 0.08$
