mark has a box that is .8 full of paper. he gives his friend .3 of the paper he has. how much paper did he give his friend

Question

idk what  the answer is so tell me. PLEASE 

Answer 1

Mark gave .3 of his paper, so we need to find out how much that is. That means we need to multiply:

 

   .8

 *.3

------

 

8 * 3 = 24

Now remember, since we have two decimal places total, that means that we need to move the decimal two places to the left:

 2 4.

\/ \/

.24

 

So:

   .8
 *.3
------

 .24

Thus Mark gave his friend .24 of his paper.
