Learn to Multiply Decimals (Decimal Multiplication) - [15] - By Math and Science



Transcript
00:00 Hello . Welcome back . The title of this lesson
00:02 is called multiplying decimals . This is part one .
00:05 I'm excited to teach you this because in the last
00:07 lesson we've learned what multiplying decimals really means in terms
00:11 of pictures and models and just thinking through what it
00:13 is here . We're actually going to practice skills so
00:16 we're not using any pictures . We're going to write
00:18 the problem down and solve it now . I want
00:20 to tell you a couple things before we do our
00:22 first problem . The first thing is when we multiply
00:24 these numbers with decimals , basically we're going to completely
00:28 ignore the decimal point until the final answer . So
00:31 the way that we have already learned how to multiply
00:33 numbers is really the same as what we're going to
00:36 do here . We're going to pretend the decimals aren't
00:38 even there were going to get the answer and then
00:41 at the very end I'll tell you where to put
00:43 the decimal point . So really it's not going to
00:45 be any different . We're very much different from what
00:47 you already know . The second thing is when we
00:50 were adding and subtracting decimals . I told you you
00:52 must line up the decimal points . I told you
00:55 30,000 times when you add or subtract to line the
00:58 decimal points up . When we multiply or when we
01:01 divide we do not line up decimal points . The
01:04 lining up the of the decimals only is for adding
01:06 and subtracting here . When we multiply , we do
01:09 not line up decimal points . We we don't do
01:12 that . So let me show you how we're going
01:13 to do our first problem . This problem actually is
01:16 the same problem . We did when we in the
01:19 first Lesson , when we did the by the models
01:21 here we did a problem that looked like this 04
01:25 And we were multiplying by 0.5 , Now in this
01:30 case the decimal points happen to line up but I'm
01:33 not lining them up on purpose , I'm just doing
01:35 it because the columns are lining up and the decimals
01:37 happen to fall here . We're gonna multiply now if
01:40 you remember from the last lesson we said that the
01:44 basically just ignore the decimal point until the final answer
01:47 . So what I want you to do is just
01:49 pretend the decimal isn't even there . Like just pretend
01:52 at 04 and 05 And we multiply , what do
01:55 we do ? We start in the right column five
01:57 times four is what 20 ? Right ? So we
01:59 put a zero here and we carry a two over
02:01 here then zero times 50 And then we add the
02:06 two which means we get it too . So we
02:08 put it to here . All right now we're done
02:10 with that . So then we have to multiply by
02:12 zero so we could drop a zero down here and
02:15 then we multiply zero times four we get zero and
02:18 we multiply zero times zero and we get zero .
02:20 We don't add this too because that was from a
02:22 previous step . Now , whatever we get from this
02:25 , we have to add up the zeros , give
02:27 me a zero , the 20 give me two .
02:30 And the zero just goes right here . So you
02:32 see what we've done is completely ignore the decimal point
02:35 . The decimal point is we just pretend it's not
02:37 there right ? And we get the numbers and the
02:39 answer and then now I have to show you how
02:41 to put the decimal in the final answer . What
02:44 you do is you look back to your problem and
02:47 you ask yourself , how many digits do I have
02:49 after the decimal here I have a decimal 0.0.0.1 digit
02:52 after the decimal . And here I have a decimal
02:54 point with another digit after the decimal . So for
02:57 the whole problem I only have two digits after decimal
03:00 points , one from here and one from here .
03:02 So in my final answer I have to have two
03:04 digits after the decimal .1 from here and one from
03:08 here . So I have to go do I put
03:10 it here ? No if I put it here I'm
03:12 only gonna have one digit after the decimal . So
03:14 I have to actually put it right here . 0.20
03:19 0.20 is the final answer when you take 0.4 and
03:23 cut it in half which is what you're doing by
03:25 multiplying by .5 . The answer we got from the
03:28 pictures is 0.20 . We did that by shading and
03:32 chopping and counting and all that . That was just
03:34 for you to understand what's happening and we now have
03:37 put that aside and now we're calculating and the way
03:40 we calculate is we do not . The decimals just
03:43 happened to line up here but we do not have
03:45 to line them up like this , we line the
03:47 columns up multiply as usual , pretend the decimals aren't
03:50 even there and then we have one digit after the
03:53 decimal . Here's another digit after the decimal for a
03:55 total of two . So the decimal must go here
03:57 . So we have two digits after the decimal in
04:00 our final answer . And notice that really if you
04:02 just cover up all everything four times 54 times five
04:05 is 20 . Here's your 20 we just have to
04:08 put the decimal in the right spot . So really
04:10 when you're multiplying by decimals it's like the decimals they
04:13 don't really affect the numbers of the answer . But
04:16 the decimals in the problem , tell you where the
04:18 decimal point goes in your answer ? That's what it
04:21 does now . Instead of multiplying the decimal times ,
04:25 a decimal , let's change things a little bit to
04:27 something , you know that I think it's fairly easy
04:29 for us to understand . Let's say that I have
04:33 the number 0.5 and we're going to multiply it by
04:38 four . Now notice the four has an invisible decimal
04:41 at the end four point . Oh right , but
04:44 I'm not lining up the decimals because I only line
04:46 them up when I'm adding . When I'm multiplying ,
04:49 I don't need to line them up because the answer
04:51 , the decimal point does not just come down .
04:53 If it were to come down it would land here
04:56 . I have to count decimals when we multiply .
04:58 So here I'm not lining decimals up , I'm just
05:01 putting things there . Let's multiply . But let's also
05:03 think , what do we think the answer is going
05:04 to be if I have four sandwiches and cut them
05:07 in half by multiplying . I should only have two
05:09 sandwiches left . So we think the answer should be
05:11 too right . And so let's check it out .
05:15 Four times five is what 20 ? Put a zero
05:18 carry the to ignore the decimal . Four times zero
05:21 is what ? Zero ? We add the two and
05:24 we get it too . So here's our 20 .
05:26 Now we look at our problem . How many digits
05:28 after the decimal here ? We have one . How
05:30 many digits after the decimal here ? There is no
05:33 decimal point and there's no numbers after . So we
05:35 don't have any uh digits after decimal there at all
05:38 . So in the problem we only have one digit
05:41 after the decimal . So in our answer we must
05:44 have one digit after the decimal . So the answer
05:46 to this would be two point oh so if you
05:48 have four sandwiches and you cut that in half by
05:51 multiplying by 40.5 you should have two sandwiches left ,
05:54 that's exactly what this is , exactly . Two sandwiches
05:57 left . So the rest of these problems are going
05:59 to behave the same way . We're going to write
06:02 the problem down and we're going to solve it essentially
06:06 by ignoring the decimal 1.2 times six . This is
06:12 like taking a little bit more than a sandwich ,
06:14 1.2 sandwiches and multiplying six times so making six copies
06:18 and adding them all together , multiplying by six we
06:21 ignore the decimal . We pretend the decimal isn't even
06:24 there six times two is what , 12 ? So
06:27 we put a to carry a one , Six times
06:29 one is 6 , we add one more and we
06:31 get seven . So those are our digits . That's
06:34 it . Now . In our problem we only have
06:36 one digit after the decimal . This one we have
06:38 no decimal we have no numbers after we only have
06:41 one digit after the decimal . So it must go
06:43 here . One digit after the decimal . For the
06:46 answer to be 7.2 . All right , 7.2 .
06:52 Let's take a look at problem at the next problem
06:56 . Let's say we have 0.61 and we're gonna multiply
07:01 by three again . I want to show you that
07:03 there's an invisible decimal point here . Were did not
07:05 line the decimals up . We did not line the
07:08 decimals up here and we did not line the decimals
07:10 up here . We do not do that for multiplying
07:12 or dividing . We only do it for adding and
07:14 subtracting . I know it's a little weird in the
07:16 beginning but you're gonna have to get used to it
07:19 . We push everything over just like regular multiplication problem
07:22 . What is three times one ? Well that's three
07:26 . What is three times six ? That's 18 .
07:28 So we put in eight carry the one three times
07:31 zero is 31 more . I'm sorry three times zero
07:34 is zero anytime anything times zero is zero plus one
07:38 is one . And now for the decimal point we
07:41 have two digits after the decimal nothing here . So
07:44 in their final answer we must have two digits after
07:47 the decimal . The answer is 1.83 Alright next problem
07:53 . Let's say we have 0.58 and we're gonna multiply
07:57 that times 12 . Again there's an invisible decimal after
08:01 the 12 . We have not lined it up with
08:03 this , we just push the numbers over into the
08:05 columns And we multiply starting with the 22 times eight
08:09 is what 16 ? So we put a six carry
08:12 a one five times two is what ? 10 ?
08:14 One more is 11 . So we have a one
08:17 and we have to carry 12 times 001 more is
08:21 one . So we're done with that . Now we
08:23 have to multiply by the one so we dropped 01
08:26 times eight is 81 times five is five . We
08:30 don't have to add these . That's from the previous
08:32 step , one times 0 is zero . And then
08:35 we add okay what do we get for the answer
08:38 ? Six plus zero is 68 plus one is 95
08:42 plus one is six . And now we do have
08:44 a zero plus zero but we don't really put leading
08:47 zeros in numbers . So the answer is 696 But
08:50 where does the decimal go ? Our problem has two
08:53 digits after the decimal and then no digits after decimal
08:56 . For a total of two . There must then
08:58 be two digits after the decimal in our final answer
09:01 and then the answer is 6.96 . So if I
09:04 take .58 which is a little bit more than half
09:07 of a sandwich and I multiply that times 12 and
09:11 add it all together . Then I'm going to have
09:13 almost seven sandwiches basically . That's what that really means
09:17 . A little bit less than 7696 is a little
09:19 bit less than seven . Yeah . All right .
09:23 Let's take a look at problem number four . Problem
09:28 number four , let's say we have 1 to 1
09:33 and we're going to multiply that times three . So
09:36 this means I have a little bit more than one
09:38 sandwich . 1.21 sandwiches and I'm going to triple it
09:41 . What am I going to have in the end
09:44 ? Three times one is what ? Three ? Three
09:46 times two is 63 times one is again three And
09:50 then for the decimal , I have two digits after
09:52 the decimal here and none here . So my answer
09:54 must have two digits after the decimal , which means
09:56 I go right here . And the answer is 3.63
10:00 . Yeah . All right . Here's the halfway mark
10:03 . Let's say we have 32.7 and we're gonna multiply
10:08 that times two . So basically we're going to double
10:10 it . What do we have ? Seven times two
10:14 ? Is what ? 14 carry the 12 times two
10:17 is four , add one more which is five ,
10:20 Two times three is six . That's all the multiplying
10:23 now for our or decimal we have one digit after
10:26 the decimal and nothing here . So told that we
10:29 have to have one digit after the decimal point for
10:32 65.465.4 . All right , let's take a look at
10:41 3.7 and will multiply that times 1.5 . Now notice
10:46 in this case the decimals are lined up but that's
10:49 not because I'm lining them up on purpose . It's
10:51 because the columns are lined up in such a way
10:54 where I have to have the columns lined up and
10:56 so the decimals happen to be here . I push
10:58 everything to the right . The columns are lined up
11:00 . The decimals are not lined up in these problems
11:02 . It's just a coincidence in this problem . So
11:05 let's start by multiplying by 55 times seven is what
11:09 35 ? That means I put a five and I
11:11 carry a three , Three times five is 15 .
11:15 Then we add 16 , 17 , 18 . So
11:18 I have to put the 18 right here . Now
11:21 we multiply by the one first we have to drop
11:23 a zero and one time 77 and one times three
11:26 is three . I don't add this because that was
11:29 from before . Shit . Finally we have to add
11:34 these numbers five plus zero gives us 58 Let's go
11:38 up by 79 10 , 11 , 12 , 13
11:41 , 14 15 . We land on 15 . So
11:44 we have to put a five here and we carry
11:46 on one to the next column 345 goes here .
11:50 So we have 555 now . Where does the decimal
11:53 go ? In ? Our problem we have one decimal
11:55 digit after the decimal here and one digit after the
11:58 decimal here . For a total of two . So
12:00 then we have to have then the decimal here .
12:02 We have to have two digits after the decimal one
12:04 from here and one from here . Now it's important
12:07 for you to kind of realize that that what we're
12:10 doing is counting digits after the decimal and counting digits
12:13 after the decimal . You might think that you just
12:15 drop that digit that decimal down . But if you
12:17 just drop it down , you would probably think it
12:19 lands here . Um so you can't just guess .
12:22 You need to count how many digits after the decimal
12:24 and then put it in the proper location . All
12:28 right . So let's take a look at our final
12:32 four problems . Let's take 6.24 and will multiply it
12:40 times 2.8 . Notice that these decimals are not lined
12:45 up . The way I have it is the columns
12:47 are lined up with the numbers but the decimal points
12:49 are not . Uh and that's the way we do
12:51 multiplication . We don't line the decimals up . Start
12:54 by ignoring the decimal , multiply by 88 times four
12:58 is 32 . So we put up to here carry
13:01 a three , eight times two is 16 . Going
13:04 up 17 , 18 , 19 . We put a
13:06 nine carry a 18 times six is 48 . 1
13:10 more is 49 . So we put the 49 down
13:12 here . Now we multiply by the two . So
13:15 dropped 02 times four is eight , two times two
13:18 is four . We don't add these because that's from
13:20 the previous step two times six is 12 . And
13:24 then we have to add these numbers together . So
13:29 the to come straight down nine plus eight is 17
13:33 because 10 plus eight is 18 . So nine plus
13:35 eight is 17 carry the one , This makes 10
13:38 plus the four is 14 , carry the 14567 goes
13:43 right here and then a one drops down here .
13:46 Now look at all these numbers , where does the
13:47 decimal go ? It certainly isn't in a line so
13:50 we can't drop it down . What do we do
13:51 ? We have two digits from after the decimal here
13:54 and we have one digit after the decimal here .
13:56 For a total of three digits after the decimal .
13:59 So in our problem we must have in the answer
14:01 three digits after the decimal . So the answer is
14:04 17.472 . Now we have not actually covered decimal positions
14:10 past the hundreds place yet but really it's it's the
14:14 same thing , it's the same concept here is the
14:16 10th place . Here is the 100th place . Here
14:20 is the 1000th place . So what this means is
14:23 this digit is worth 1 1/10 . Every digit here
14:27 is worth 1 1/100 and every digit here is worth
14:30 1 1000 . It's worth a really tiny amount .
14:34 The farther you go after the decimal , the digits
14:36 mean less and less and less and less . So
14:39 in real life sometimes we either round the numbers or
14:42 we just throw the last few numbers away because they
14:44 don't matter . You can have numbers after the decimal
14:47 that go on and on and on forever . And
14:49 those digits way at the end don't really mean very
14:51 much because they're only worth maybe 11 millionth or 1
14:55 100 million or something like this . So don't stress
14:58 out if you have a lot of extra digits it
15:00 looks like it's a big number but it's really telling
15:02 you have 17 whole pieces and then This represents how
15:06 close I am to the next hole . If I
15:08 get to 999 after the decimal then I'll roll over
15:12 to 18 the next hole number . So 17.472 is
15:17 the final answer . All right , next problem .
15:19 Let's take a look at 3.73 . And we're gonna
15:23 multiply that by 077 . Now again , I'm not
15:28 lining up the decimals . They only are lined up
15:30 just because the columns are lined up with the numbers
15:34 . All right , So what do I do I
15:36 say ? Uh Seven times three I start here seven
15:38 times 3 . 21 . So I put it one
15:41 carry a 27 times 7 , 49 . Go up
15:44 50 51 carry the five , Seven times three ,
15:50 We go up 22 , 24 , 26 . means
15:55 I just put a 26 down here . All right
15:58 now , I gotta multiply by this seven so I
16:00 have to drop a zero again . Seven times three
16:02 is 21 . So let me switch probably switch colors
16:06 seven times three is 21 . So again I'm gonna
16:08 carry it to seven times seven is 49 50 51
16:12 carry the five . And then seven times three is
16:15 21 . Then we have 22 , 23 , 25
16:19 , Put the 26 right here . So I'm done
16:22 multiplying by these now I do have another digit there
16:25 . Um but multiplying by zero doesn't do anything .
16:29 Let's go ahead and do it . But you'll just
16:30 see if we're going to multiply by this digit .
16:32 We have to not only add 10 we have to
16:35 drop to zero and then zero times this . 00
16:38 times this . 00 times this is zero . So
16:41 a leading zero like that before the decimal doesn't change
16:45 anything . The one drops down one plus one is
16:50 26 plus one is 76 plus two is eight and
16:54 two drops down . Where does the decimal go ?
16:57 I have two digits here in two digits here .
17:00 After the decimal for a total of four . So
17:02 I have to put the decimal right here . one
17:05 , digits should come after the decimal 287 21 So
17:10 this is the 10th place . This is the 100th
17:14 place . This is the 1000th place . This is
17:17 called the 10/1000 place . It's worth even less 10
17:21 times less than what has come before it . So
17:23 this one here has very little meaning in the number
17:26 , it doesn't change the value of the number much
17:28 because the farther you go off to the right after
17:30 the decimal , the less and less the numbers mean
17:34 okay , we only have two more problems and we're
17:40 going to conquer The next to last one right here
17:43 . What about 4.36 and will multiply it by 2.94
17:51 . Again , I'm not lining up decimals , I'm
17:53 just lining up columns and the decimals happened to line
17:56 up . So this is going to be a big
17:58 multiplication problem . First we have to multiply by 44
18:01 times six is 24 carry the two . All right
18:06 , three times four is 12 , then we go
18:08 up 13 14 . Put a four carry the one
18:12 , four times 4 is 16 . 1 more makes
18:14 17 . So the 17 goes there . Now we're
18:18 done with the forward . Now we multiply times nine
18:20 . We have to drop a 09 times 6 .
18:22 54 . Let me switch colors . 54 . Put
18:26 a four , carry the five to the next column
18:29 here . Nine times 3 , 27 . We add
18:33 28 29 30 31 32 32 means we carry a
18:37 three nine times 4 , 36 . Then we add
18:40 37 38 39 39 goes right there . Now we're
18:45 done with that . Now we have to multiply times
18:47 the two . So I think what I'll do is
18:49 I'll go to purple . Here . We have to
18:51 drop two zeros in this guy right here , multiplied
18:54 by 22 times 6 . 12 carry the one .
18:58 two times 3 is six . It just goes right
19:00 here Actually two times 36 we have to add the
19:03 one , right ? We almost made a mistake .
19:04 There has to be a seven like this . And
19:09 then two times four is eight . We don't have
19:10 to add any of those other numbers . That's from
19:12 before . So 87200 Now we add all of these
19:16 numbers together . What are we going to get ?
19:18 We'll go back to black . The four just drops
19:20 right on down . Four plus four is eight .
19:24 That goes right here . 789 10 11 . We
19:27 have to carry a one barely enough room right there
19:30 to carry a 19 plus one is 10 . This
19:33 is 10 . This is 10 plus 7 17 .
19:35 So we have 17 . 1 more is 18 .
19:37 Put in eight carry the one up here . +89
19:41 10 , 11 , 12 . So we have 12
19:44 . We have a two here and we have a
19:45 one here . So +128184 Now , we have to
19:49 figure out where does the decimal go ? We have
19:52 two digits after the decimal here . To from here
19:55 , that means four . So we have to put
19:56 the decimal right here for four positions After in our
19:59 final answer , 128184 . So we have again ,
20:04 four digits tens , hundreds thousands . 10,000 . So
20:08 again , this four means very , very little because
20:10 it's so far toward the end , every number there
20:13 is only worth a 10,000 . That's one out of
20:16 10,000 of something . It's not worth very much .
20:19 And so that's the final answer . All right .
20:21 We only have one . Last problem . And we're
20:24 going to work it over here . Let's take a
20:26 look at 9.91 and will multiply it by 1.2 .
20:31 1 point to notice the columns . Line up with
20:35 the digits the decimals do not line up . All
20:38 right . So first multiplied by 22 times one is
20:41 what ? 22 times nine is 18 ? So we
20:45 carry 12 times this . Nine is 18 . 1
20:48 more is 19 . So there's your 19 multiplied by
20:52 one . We have to drop a 01 times one
20:54 is 11 times nine is nine and one times nine
20:58 is nine . And we add these numbers together .
21:02 The two drops down eight plus one is 99 plus
21:06 nine . You can think of it as nine times
21:08 two which is 18 or you can count on your
21:10 fingers . Nine plus nine is gonna give you 18
21:13 carry the one 9 10 11 means I have a
21:16 one here and one here . So 11892 For the
21:20 problem I have two digits after the decimal in this
21:23 number and one digit after the number of here .
21:25 For a total of three digits after the decimal .
21:28 So the decimal has to go here three digits after
21:31 the decimal 11.892 So what this means is if I
21:36 take 9.91 of something , almost 10 of something and
21:39 I multiply it just a little bit more than one
21:42 then I should get I'm going to get a little
21:45 bit more than 11 . Almost 12 , which makes
21:47 sense because if I if you kind of round up
21:49 this is very close to 10 and I 10 times
21:52 one would be 10 . But I'm multiplying by just
21:54 a little bit more than one , so I should
21:57 get a little bit more than 10 and that's what
21:59 I get . 11.892 So we have conquered multiplying decimals
22:04 here using the rules , we ignore the decimal ,
22:07 we just do that at the end . Right ?
22:09 And we of course now know what multiplying by decimal
22:11 means from the previous lessons , I really need you
22:14 to work all of these problems yourself . When you
22:17 feel like you're getting the right answers , follow me
22:19 on to the next lesson , we'll get a little
22:20 more practice and wrap up the concept of multiplying decimals
00:0-1 .
