Step 3: Multiply as WHOLE NUMBERS. No Decimal.

4.35 × 12 → 435 × 12�= 5,220

4.35 → 2 places� 12 → 0 places�Total = 2 places

≈ 4 × 12 = 48

Your final answer should be around 48. If not, your decimal is in the wrong spot.

Answer Statement:

Step 1: What words identify the operation you will use. Identify the part-part-whole.

Students solved the candle problem. The class sells candles for $4.35 each and sold 12. How much money did the class raise? Find the BATMAN — the correct answer.

$5.22

435 × 12 = 5,220. Placed decimal from LEFT: 5.22×.

Placed the decimal 2 digits from the LEFT instead of from the RIGHT. Always count decimal places from the RIGHT side of the product!

$8.70

4.35 × 2 = 8.70. Only multiplied by the ones digit (2), ignored the tens digit.

Forgot to multiply by 10 as well! 12 = 10 + 2, so you need 435×2 AND 435×10.

$52.10

435×2=870; 435×10=4,350. Added: 870+4,350=5,210 → $52.10.

Almost! Addition error in the last step — forgot a carry: 870+4,350 = 5,220 (not 5,210). Then $52.20, not $52.10.

$52.20

435×12=5,220. Two decimal places → $52.20.

Multiplied as whole numbers, counted 2 decimal places, placed correctly. The class raised $52.20!

265 × 20 = 5,300 → $53.00. Forgot to multiply by 4.

Only multiplied by 20! Must also multiply 265×4=1,060 and add: $53.00+$10.60=$63.60.

$63

265×4=1,060; 265×20=5,300. Added: 5,300+1,000=6,300 → $63.00.

Almost! Dropped the 60 from 1,060 when adding. 5,300+1,060=6,360 → $63.60, not $63.00.

$63.6

265×24=6,360. Two decimal places → $63.60.

Multiplied 265×4=1,060 and 265×20=5,300, added correctly. Fundraiser raised $63.60!

Answer Statement:

Students solved the carpenter problem. A 4.56 m shelf is cut into 8 equal pieces. How long is each piece? Find the BATMAN — the correct answer.

36.48

4.56 × 8 = 36.48. Multiplied instead of dividing!

The problem says CUT INTO 8 pieces — that means DIVIDE, not multiply. 4.56 ÷ 8, not 4.56 × 8.

5.7

456 ÷ 8 = 57. Placed decimal: 57 → 5.7 (one decimal place).

Got the long division correct but placed the decimal wrong. 4.56 has its decimal after the 4 (tens place), so quotient = 0.57, not 5.7.

0.56

8 into 45: 5 (rem 5). 8 into 56: tried 6 (8×6=48), rem 8 → stopped at 56.

Almost! Last step: 8 × 7 = 56 (not 48). 8 goes into 56 exactly 7 times, giving 57 → 0.57, not 0.56.

0.57

456 ÷ 8 = 57. Decimal in 4.56 is after 4 → quotient = 0.57 m.

Set up correctly, divided carefully, placed decimal above its position. Each piece is 0.57 meters long!

✓ correct!

936 ÷ 12 = 78. Placed decimal: 78 → 7.8.

Students solved the dog food problem. 14.85 pounds divided equally into 9 bags. How many pounds per bag? Find the BATMAN — the correct answer.

133.65

14.85 × 9 = 133.65. Multiplied instead of dividing!

The problem says DIVIDED INTO 9 bags — that means DIVIDE. 14.85 ÷ 9, not 14.85 × 9.

16.5

1,485 ÷ 9 = 165. Placed decimal: 165 → 16.5.

Long division is correct, but wrong decimal placement. 14.85 has decimal after 14 → quotient decimal goes after 1 → 1.65, not 16.5.

7.2

1,152 ÷ 16 = 72. Placed decimal: 72 → 7.2.

Long division is correct, but decimal is in the wrong place. 11.52 has decimal after 11 → quotient = 0.72, not 7.2.

0.71

16 into 115: 7 (rem 3). 16 into 32: tried 1 (rem 16) → stopped at 71.

Almost! 16 × 2 = 32 exactly. 16 goes into 32 exactly 2 times → 72 → 0.72, not 0.71.

0.72

1,152 ÷ 16 = 72. Decimal in 11.52 after 11 → 0.72 L per cup.

Divided correctly, placed decimal above its position in the dividend. Each cup holds 0.72 liters!

✓ correct!
