Evaluate the expression: \(0.258 \cdot 7.8\)

MathBot Answer:

\[0.258 \cdot 7.8 = \frac{5031}{2500} = 2.0124\]


\[\begin{aligned}0.258 \cdot 7.8& = \frac{258}{1000} \cdot \left(7 + \frac{8}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{258}{1000} \cdot \left(7 + \frac{4}{5}\right)\\& = \frac{258}{1000} \cdot \frac{39}{5}\\& = \frac{129}{500} \cdot \frac{39}{5}\\& = \frac{5031}{2500}\end{aligned}\]
