Practice multiplying a decimal by a one-digit whole number using the distributive property to enhance multiplying decimals skill.

Use the distributive property to find the product.
2 × 6.3 = 2 x ( 6 + 0.3 )
= ( 2 x 6 ) + ( 2 x 0.3 )
= 12 + 0.6
= 12.6

Use the distributive property to find the product.
4 × 7.2 = 4 x ( 7 + 0.2 )
= ( 4 x 7 ) + ( 4 x 0.2 )
= 28 + 0.8
= 28.8



Use the distributive property to find the product.
7 × 6.3 = 7 x ( 6 + 0.3 )
= ( 7 x 6 ) + ( 7 x 0.3 )
= 42 + 2.1
= 44.1

Use the distributive property to find the product.
7 × 8.1 = 7 x ( 8 + 0.1 )
= ( 7 x 8 ) + ( 7 x 0.1 )
= 56 + 0.7
= 56.7

Use the distributive property to find the product.
5 × 3.1 = 5 x ( 3 + 0.1 )
= ( 5 x 3 ) + ( 5 x 0.1 )
= 15 + 0.5
= 15.5

Use the distributive property to find the product.
2 × 7.4  = 2 x ( 7 + 0.4 )
= ( 2 x 7 ) + ( 2 x 0.4 )
= 14 + 0.8
= 14.8
