Two factors are multiplied and their product it 34.44. One factor is a whole number. What is the least number of decimal places in the other factor. Explain.
Accepted Solution
A:
The answer is 2, because if a number is a whole number, for example 2, you must multiply it by a number with 2 decimals, in this case 17.77, to get 34.44 based on this example.
