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? Multiply 4 by 0.17, since 1 pound on Earth is 0.17 pound on the Moon. 4  0.17 17 Multiply as you would with whole numbers.  4 68

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. 0.17 2 decimal places  4 + 0 decimal places 0.68 2 decimal places A 4 lb dumbbell on Earth weighs 0.68 lb on the Moon.

Check It Out: Example 1 Something that weighs 1 lb on Earth weighs 0.17 lb on the Moon. How much would a 7 lb dumbbell weigh on the Moon? 7 × 0.17 = 1.19 lb

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

Additional Example 2A: Multiplying a Decimal by a Decimal Find the product. 0.3  0.4 Multiply. Then place the decimal point. 1 decimal place 0.3  + 1 decimal place 0.4 2 decimal places 0.12

Additional Example 2B: Multiplying a Decimal by a Decimal 0.07  0.8 Estimate the product. 0.8 is close to 1. 0.07  1 = 0.07 Multiply. Then place the decimal point. 2 decimal places 0.07  0.8 + 1 decimal place 3 decimal places; use a placeholder zero 0.056 0.056 is close to the estimate of 0.07. The answer is reasonable.

Additional Example 2C: Multiplying a Decimal by a Decimal 1.34  2.5 Estimate the product. Round each factor to the nearest whole number. 1  3 = 3 Multiply. Then place the decimal point. 1.34  2.5 2 decimal places 670 + 1 decimal place 2680 3 decimal places 3.350 3.350 is close to the estimate of 3. The answer is reasonable.
