You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(0.1 \cdot 0.4 \cdot 1.5\)

MathBot Answer:

\[0.1 \cdot 0.4 \cdot 1.5 = \frac{3}{50} = 0.06\]


\[\begin{aligned}0.1 \cdot 0.4 \cdot 1.5& = \frac{1}{10} \cdot \frac{4}{10} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{5}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{1}{10} \cdot \frac{4}{10} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\\& = \frac{1}{10} \cdot \frac{4}{10} \cdot \frac{3}{2}\\& = \frac{4}{10} \cdot \frac{1}{10} \cdot \frac{3}{2}\\& = \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{10} \cdot \frac{3}{2}\\& = \frac{1}{25} \cdot \frac{3}{2}\\& = \frac{3}{50}\end{aligned}\]
