Explanation:

Step1: Calculate each labeled problem

R: Multiply 23.44 by 9

$23.44 \times 9 = 210.96$

U: Divide 60.54 by 6

$60.54 \div 6 = 10.09$

N: Multiply 47.71 by 8

$47.71 \times 8 = 381.68$

O: Divide 88.33 by 11

$88.33 \div 11 = 8.03$

B: Multiply 34.09 by 4

$34.09 \times 4 = 136.36$

S: Divide 120.5 by 5

$120.5 \div 5 = 24.1$

W: Multiply 91.42 by 2.8

$91.42 \times 2.8 = 255.976$

I: Divide 15.06 by 0.3

$15.06 \div 0.3 = 50.2$

A: Multiply 72.6 by 3.8

$72.6 \times 3.8 = 275.88$

H: Divide 50.755 by 0.05

$50.755 \div 0.05 = 1015.1$

F: Multiply 4.73 by 0.9

$4.73 \times 0.9 = 4.257$

L: Divide 96.108 by 0.12

$96.108 \div 0.12 = 800.9$

E: Multiply 8.5 by 9.3

$8.5 \times 9.3 = 79.05$

M: Divide 28.36 by 0.4

$28.36 \div 0.4 = 70.9$

T: Multiply 15.74 by 1.63

$15.74 \times 1.63 = 25.6562$

Z: Divide 66.121 by 1.1

$66.121 \div 1.1 = 60.11$

C: Multiply 52.08 by 7.2

$52.08 \times 7.2 = 374.976$

Step2: Match values to letter blanks
