You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(9.6 \cdot 1.2\)

MathBot Answer:

\[9.6 \cdot 1.2 = \frac{288}{25} = 11.52\]


\[\begin{aligned}9.6 \cdot 1.2& = \left(9 + \frac{6}{10}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \left(9 + \frac{3}{5}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{48}{5} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{48}{5} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{1}{5}\right)\\& = \frac{48}{5} \cdot \frac{6}{5}\\& = \frac{288}{25}\end{aligned}\]
