• Question 10

Alex finds a remnant of landscaping fabric at a garden store. The fabric is the standard width, with length 9.88m. Alex needs fourteen 0.8m pieces for a garden patio.

• How many 0.8m pieces can Alex cut from the remnant? What assumptions did you make?

• Will Alex have all the fabric he needs? Why or why not?

• If your answer to part b is no, how much more fabric does Alex need?

• Alex redesigns his patio so that he needs fourteen 0.7m pieces of fabric. Will the remnant be enough fabric? Explain.

To multiply decimal numbers:

1. Multiply the numbers just as if they were whole numbers.

• Line up the numbers on the right – do not align the decimal points.
• Starting on the right, multiply each digit in the top number by each digit in the bottom number, just as with whole numbers.
• Add the products.

2. Place the decimal point in the answer by starting at the right and moving a number of places equal to the sum of the decimal places in both numbers multiplied.
