You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(65.3 \cdot 1.8\)
MathBot Answer:
\[65.3 \cdot 1.8 = \frac{5877}{50} = 117.54\]
\[\begin{aligned}65.3 \cdot 1.8& = \left(65 + \frac{3}{10}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{8}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{653}{10} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{8}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{653}{10} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{4}{5}\right)\\& = \frac{653}{10} \cdot \frac{9}{5}\\& = \frac{5877}{50}\end{aligned}\]
