You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(7.38 \cdot 1.7\)

MathBot Answer:

\[7.38 \cdot 1.7 = \frac{6273}{500} = 12.546\]


\[\begin{aligned}7.38 \cdot 1.7& = \left(7 + \frac{38}{100}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{7}{10}\right)\\& = \left(7 + \frac{19}{50}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{7}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{369}{50} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{7}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{369}{50} \cdot \frac{17}{10}\\& = \frac{6273}{500}\end{aligned}\]
