MathBot Answer:

\[1.6 \cdot 273.16 = \frac{54632}{125} = 437.056\]


\[\begin{aligned}1.6 \cdot 273.16& = \left(1 + \frac{6}{10}\right) \cdot \left(273 + \frac{16}{100}\right)\\& = \left(1 + \frac{3}{5}\right) \cdot \left(273 + \frac{16}{100}\right)\\& = \frac{8}{5} \cdot \left(273 + \frac{16}{100}\right)\\& = \frac{8}{5} \cdot \left(273 + \frac{4}{25}\right)\\& = \frac{8}{5} \cdot \frac{6829}{25}\\& = \frac{54632}{125}\end{aligned}\]
