Explain how you can use a quick picture to find \(3 \times 2.7\).

Asked by fabiolasainvil

Answer (2)

If you want to find 3*2.7 with a picture, you could draw 2 rectangles divided into 10 parts shaded in and then the same rectangle with only 7 out of the 10 parts shaded in. Then do the same thing 2 more times. That should help.

To find 3 × 2.7 , you can visualize 2 full rectangles for 2 and a third rectangle for 0.7, shading in parts as needed. Adding the areas gives you 8.1 as the final answer. This method helps reinforce your multiplication conceptually through visual means.
