Problem of the Day
Carmen and Rita sold homemade
oatmeal cookies. After 8 days, they had
sales totaling $70. Each day, their sales
were $0.50 higher than the previous
day. What were their sales on the first
day?
$7.00

3-4 Multiplying Decimals
Additional Example 1: Science Application
Something that weighs 1 lb on Earth weighs
0.17 lb on the Moon. How much would a 4 lb
dumbbell weigh on the Moon?
4  0.17
17
 4
68
Multiply 4 by 0.17, since 1 pound on
Earth is 0.17 pound on the Moon.
Multiply as you would with whole
numbers.

Additional Example 1 Continued
Something that weighs 1 lb on Earth weighs
0.17 lb on the Moon. How much would a 4 lb
dumbbell weigh on the Moon?
Place the decimal point by adding the number
of decimal places in the numbers multiplied.

Helpful Hint
You can use a decimal grid to model multiplication
of decimals.

0.07  0.8
0.07  1 = 0.07 Estimate the product. 0.8 is
close to 1.
0.07

0.056
Multiply. Then place the
decimal point.

+ 1 decimal place
3 decimal places; use a
placeholder zero
0.056 is close to the estimate of 0.07. The
answer is reasonable.
