How can the product of 5 and 0.3 be determined using this number line? Number line from 0 to 2.0 with tick marks at every tenth. An arrow goes from 0 to 0.3. Enter your answers in the boxes. Make_____ jumps that are each_____unit long. You end at______ , which is the product of 5 and 0.3.
To determine the product of 5 and 0.3 using the numberline described, make 5 jumps that are each 0.3 units long, you end up at 1.5.
Sincethe distance between each consecutive tick marks is 0.3 ; we only need to jump 5 times starting from the 0 towards the right.
Hence, jumping five times towards the right by a distance of 0.3 each time gives a value of 1.5 on the final or end point which is also the product of 0.3 × 5
