In this worksheet, we will multiply by numbers less than 1
Method
If you are multiplying by 0.07, we first multiply this by 100 to get 7.
We then multiply by 7 instead of 0.07 as this is much easier.
Our answer is now 100 times too big, so we must divide by 100 to get the right answer.
Example
73 x 0.03 = 73 x 3 ÷ 100 = 219 ÷ 100 = 2.19
NB: The answer is less than 73.
