Question

6 × 0.43 =

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply 6 by 0.43

To calculate \(6\times0.43\), we can think of \(0.43\) as \(43\times0.01\). So first, multiply \(6\) by \(43\): \(6\times43 = 258\). Then, since \(0.43\) has two decimal places, we divide the result by \(100\) (which is equivalent to moving the decimal point two places to the left). So \(258\div100=2.58\).
Alternatively, we can use the standard multiplication of decimals:
\[

$$\begin{align*} &0.43\\ \times& \ \ 6\\ \hline &2.58 \end{align*}$$

\]

Answer:

\(2.58\)
