Question

multiply.
27.8
× 6
------

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply the decimal by the integer

First, we can treat \(27.8\) as \(278\times0.1\), and multiply \(278\) by \(6\). So \(278\times6 = 1668\).

Step2: Adjust for the decimal place

Since we had \(27.8 = 278\times0.1\), we need to divide the result by \(10\) (because of the \(0.1\) factor). So \(1668\times0.1=\frac{1668}{10}=166.8\).

Answer:

\(166.8\)
