GCSE Maths Decimal Multiplication
Decimal multiplication is an important number skill used throughout GCSE Maths.
Example
Work out:
2.4 × 1.5
Multiply normally:
24 × 15 = 360
Then place the decimal point correctly:
3.60 = 3.6
Exam tip: Estimate first so you know roughly what the answer should look like.
Common mistake: Students often place the decimal point incorrectly after multiplying.
