Lesson 9.8: Multiplication of Decimals
Mental Math estimate the product and write the number model you used to solve it Example: 9 * 18 You write: 9 * 20 = 180 or 10 * 18 = 180 11 * 42 28 * 49 22 * 76 63 * 63 98 * 59 72 * 414

Estimating Products of Decimals We will learn to find the product of decimals On your slate, estimate each product. Show your work. 11 * 2.8 110 * 2.8 11 * 0.28
110 * 2.8 11 * 0.28 11 * 2.8 Which problem is most likely to have the product 30.8? How do you know? 110 * 2.8 = 308 Where would you place the decimal point? How do you know? 11 * 0.28 = 308 Where would you place the decimal point? How do you know?
Estimate the cost of 5 calculators Multiply 5 * 929 Let’s use our estimate to place the decimal.
