3.1×253.1\times25

Full solution

Q. 3.1×253.1\times25
  1. Multiply Whole Number: First, let's multiply the whole number by the decimal. 25×3.125 \times 3.1
  2. Think of Decimal as Tenths: We can think of 3.13.1 as 3131 tenths, so we're really doing 25×3125 \times 31, but we'll have to remember to put the decimal point back in the right spot at the end.
  3. Multiply Numbers: Now, multiply 2525 by 3131.\begin{align*} &\phantom{+}25\ &\times31\ \hline &\phantom{+}25\ &+750\ \hline &775 \end{align*}
  4. Place Decimal Point: Since we were originally multiplying by 3.13.1, we need to put the decimal point back in. We moved it one place to the right to make 3131, so now we move it one place to the left in our answer.\newline77.577.5
