Q. Malia has a set of wooden boards. Each board is 0.4meters0.4\,\text{meters} long. If Malia lays 99 boards end-to-end, how many meters long will the line of boards be?\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_ meters
  1. Identify Length and Number: Step 11: Identify the length of one board and the total number of boards. Each board is 0.40.4 meters long, and Malia has 99 boards.
  2. Calculate Total Length: Step 22: Calculate the total length of the boards when laid end-to-end.\newlineTotal length =Length of one board×Number of boards= \text{Length of one board} \times \text{Number of boards}\newlineTotal length =0.4meters×9= 0.4 \, \text{meters} \times 9
  3. Perform Multiplication: Step 33: Perform the multiplication to find the total length. 0.4×9=3.60.4 \times 9 = 3.6 meters
