find the product
1.87*2.5
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(1.87 \cdot 2.5\)
MathBot Answer:
\[1.87 \cdot 2.5 = \frac{187}{40} = 4.675\]
\[\begin{aligned}1.87 \cdot 2.5& = \left(1 + \frac{87}{100}\right) \cdot \left(2 + \frac{5}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{187}{100} \cdot \left(2 + \frac{5}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{187}{100} \cdot \left(2 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\\& = \frac{187}{100} \cdot \frac{5}{2}\\& = \frac{187}{40}\end{aligned}\]
