3.6* 15.2
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(3.6 \cdot 15.2\)
MathBot Answer:
\[3.6 \cdot 15.2 = \frac{1368}{25} = 54.72\]
\[\begin{aligned}3.6 \cdot 15.2& = \left(3 + \frac{6}{10}\right) \cdot \left(15 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \left(3 + \frac{3}{5}\right) \cdot \left(15 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{18}{5} \cdot \left(15 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{18}{5} \cdot \left(15 + \frac{1}{5}\right)\\& = \frac{18}{5} \cdot \frac{76}{5}\\& = \frac{1368}{25}\end{aligned}\]
