The school hosted a singing contest.
The scores of two contestants in the
Finals are shown in the table below:

Contestant Voice Quality (40)

Stage Presence (20) Technique
(25) Impact (15)
Jo 35.7 17.6 20.8 14
Jen 36.3 15.9 21 13.2
Answer the following
Questions.
1. What is Jo's total score? What is
Jen's total score?
2. Who won between Jo and Jen?
3. How many more points should the
non-winner have scored to tie with the
winner?
Ask:
Do you know how much we weigh on
the Moon?
To find out, we need to multiply our
weight on Earth by approximately
0.17 so we would know our weight on
the Moon.
 Problem
"Louis, an astronaut, will travel to the
moon to do some explorations on its
surface. He weighs 63 kg here on Earth.
What would be his weight when he lands
on the moon?
Do you think his weight on the moon is
more than 10 kg?
What is the most it could be?
Could it be 12 kg?
Think-Pair-Share
Using only the result of this computation and
estimation, let them give the exact answer to
each of the following:

6.3 x 0.17 63 x 1.7

0.63 x 0.17 6.3 x 1.7

Ask: How did you know where to place the

decimal point in each product?
Encircle the statement that gives
the greater product.

1. 0.29 x 0.8
2. 4 x 0.17
3. 0.92 x 0.08
4. 0.45 x 7.1
5. 3.7 x 2
Find the Product:

A student assistant in a university earns P35
per hour. The table below shows the number
of hours she worked each day during a

Tuesday 2.25
Wednesday 2.75
Thursday 2.2
Friday 4.10
How much did she earn each day?
How much did each earn in that week?
Solve.
A.What is 3.65 multiplied by 12?
B.What is the product of 4 and 8.79?
C.What is 24.5 times 6?
Wrap Up:
In multiplying decimal numbers by whole
numbers follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply as with whole numbers
Step 2: Count the decimal places in the factors
Step 3: Place the decimal point in the product.
The total number of decimal places in the
product must be equal to the number of decimal
places in the factors.
Evaluation:
Complete each statement.

Additional Activity:
Put the decimal point in the correct place in
the product.
1. 1.2 x 6 = 7 2
2. 12.4 x 0.78 = 9 6 7 2
3. 3.34 x 1.4 = 4 6 7 6
4. 2.3 x 12.3 = 2 8 2 9
5. 2.34 x 1.23 = 2 8 7 8 2
