Explanation:
We are told to explain how the written method shown in the question can be used to solve the decimal expression: 3.62 x 1.4
From the question, we have:
[tex]362\times14=5068[/tex]
Then, we can infer that 3.62 x 1.4 means that 362 was divided by 100 and 1.4 was divided by 10
[tex]3.62\times1.4=\frac{362}{100}\times\frac{14}{10}[/tex][tex]3.62\times1.4=\frac{362}{100}\times\frac{14}{10}=\frac{362\times14}{1000}=\frac{5068}{1000}[/tex]
Therefore we will have 5.068
Thus
3.62 x 1.4 = 5.068
