If I’m counting right, move the decimal place from the right over three.
Really, this is more of a problem if you are using a slide rule.
Boeing material.
Just looking at the two operands tells you the approximate product, so since the answer begins with 9 the decimal point must come after that. And that works even when using a slide rule.
Ooh, old school teacher (or Mr. Anderson is playing to an older crowd).
The sad thing is that’s probably better than I’d do
He got all the numbers right. I know a few people that getting the correct answer with a calculator isn’t a given.
It is also called CYA…..
Sorry. You can only be on one base at a time. If you don’t pick just one “You’re out!” (= The answer will be counted as wrong.)
Stick with base ten, kid.
‘So I’m gue’s’sing he also put’s an apo’strophe before every ’s.
I feel like I haven’t seen that kind of math in a while. Kind of refreshing. Makes me want to multiply something.
