Question

ivan made an international phone call for 5.6 minutes. he was charged $0.35 for each minute. find the amount he paid.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the problem

We need to find the total amount paid. The formula is \( \text{Total amount}=\text{Rate per minute}\times\text{Number of minutes} \). Here, the rate per minute \( r = 0.35 \) dollars and the number of minutes \( t=5.6 \).

Step2: Perform the multiplication

Another way: \( 0.35\times5.6=\frac{35}{100}\times\frac{56}{10}=\frac{35\times56}{1000}=\frac{1960}{1000} = 1.96 \)

Answer:

\( 1.96 \)
