Given:
The area model for [tex]2.1\times 3.2[/tex].
To find:
The value of [tex]2.1\times 3.2[/tex] and the missing values in the area model.
Solution:
2.1 can be written as 2 and 0.1 on the left side of the area model.
3.2 can be written as 3 and 0.2 on the top of area model.
Area of the four parts of the area model are:
[tex]2\times 3=6[/tex]
[tex]2\times 0.2=0.4[/tex]
[tex]0.1\times 3=0.3[/tex]
[tex]0.1\times 0.2=0.02[/tex]
The complete area model is shown below.
After adding all areas of the area model, we get
[tex]6+0.4+0.3+0.02=6.72[/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]2.1\times 3.2[/tex] is 6.72 and the missing values of the area model are 0.3 and 0.02 respectively.
