Question

The product of 0.6 * 0.4 is how much greater than the product of 0.02 and 0.4?

Answer 1

Hi Carina,

 

first you multiple each pair of numbers

 

so 

 

.6*.4 =.24

 

and

 

.02 * .4 =.008

 

now you subtract

 

.240 - .008 = .232

 

 

Answer 2

This is a ratio problem:

 

 0.6*0.4              0.24             240

-------------  =  -------------- = ---------  =  30

0.02*0.4            0.008              8

 

The product 0.6*0.4 is 30 times greater than the product 0.02*0.8.
