QuestionUse the model to find 0.8×4.6\mathbf{0 . 8} \times \mathbf{4 . 6}. First, fill in the area of each rectangle.
Then, find the total area. 0.8×4.6=0.8 \times 4.6= \square

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are using a visual area model to calculate the product 0.8×4.60.8 \times 4.6.
2. The area model involves breaking down the numbers into parts that are easier to multiply.
3. We will calculate the area of each rectangle separately and then sum them to find the total area.

STEP 2

1. Break down the numbers into parts.
2. Calculate the area of each rectangle.
3. Sum the areas to find the total product.

STEP 3

Break down the numbers 0.80.8 and 4.64.6 into parts that are easier to multiply.
- 0.80.8 can be considered as 0.80.8. - 4.64.6 can be broken down into 44 and 0.60.6.

STEP 4

Calculate the area of each rectangle by multiplying the parts.
- Calculate 0.8×40.8 \times 4: $ 0.8 \times 4 = 3.2 \]
- Calculate 0.8×0.60.8 \times 0.6: $ 0.8 \times 0.6 = 0.48 \]

STEP 5

Sum the areas of the rectangles to find the total area.
- Total area: $ 3.2 + 0.48 = 3.68 \]
The product of 0.8×4.60.8 \times 4.6 is:
3.68\boxed{3.68}
