The answer is <strong>(B) 0.03</strong>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's perform the multiplication:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>0.5 (multiplicand) x 0.06 (multiplier) = product</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here, we can ignore the decimal places for a moment and perform the multiplication like normal:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5 x 6 = 30</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now, since both the multiplicand and multiplier have one decimal place each, the product will have a total of two decimal places. So, we move the decimal point in our product (30) two places to the left:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>30.00 --> Since we only need two decimal places, we round to the nearest hundredth: 0.03</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Therefore, 0.5 x 0.06 = 0.03.
