Find the area of a rectangle with the following dimensions:
Consider a rectangle with side lengths of 4.67 and 9 units.
Complete the table by finding the area of each smaller rectangle as a decimal.
Hence, find 4.67 \times 9 as a decimal.
| 4 | 0.6 | 0.07 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 |
Consider a rectangle with side lengths of 46.2 and 6 units.
Complete the table by finding the area of each smaller rectangle as a decimal.
Hence, find 46.2 \times 6 as a decimal.
| 40 | 6 | 0.2 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 |
Consider a rectangle with side lengths of 4.92 and 0.6 units.
Complete the table by finding the area of each smaller rectangle as a decimal.
Hence, find 4.92 \times 0.6 as a decimal.
| 4 | 0.9 | 0.02 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.6 |
Consider a rectangle with side lengths of 2.3 and 3.1 units:
Complete the table by finding the area of each smaller rectangle as a decimal.
Hence, find 2.3 \times 3.1 as a decimal.
| 2 | 0.3 | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | ||
| 0.1 |
Consider a rectangle with side lengths of 0.87 and 7.8 units.
Complete the table by finding the area of each smaller rectangle as a decimal.
Hence, find 0.87 \times 7.8 as a decimal.
| 0.8 | 0.07 | |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | ||
| 0.8 |
