Question

find 6.8×1.6 using partial products. draw an area model to show the partial products. use the area model to complete the chart to find the product. enter your answer in the edit fields and then click check answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Decompose the numbers

Decompose 6.8 into 6 + 0.8 and 1.6 into 1+ 0.6.

Step2: Calculate partial - products

Calculate the four partial - products:

• \(6\times1 = 6\)
• \(6\times0.6=3.6\)
• \(0.8\times1 = 0.8\)
• \(0.8\times0.6 = 0.48\)

Step3: Sum the partial - products

\(6+3.6 + 0.8+0.48=10.88\)

Answer:

10.88
