Question 25

The product of (7.2)(0.34) is 2.448.

To find the product of 7.2 and 0.34, the calculation yields 2.448, confirming that this is the correct answer.

A) 14.12

Option A is incorrect because 14.12 is significantly higher than the expected product of the two numbers. Multiplying 7.2 by 0.34 should produce a result much lower than 14, as both factors are less than 10.

B) 0.234

Option B is also incorrect as it is much lower than the expected product. The multiplication of two positive numbers that are greater than 0 should yield a product greater than either of the individual numbers, making 0.234 an unrealistic outcome.

C) 7.64

Option C is incorrect because 7.64 is too high for the product of 7.2 and 0.34. The product should be below 7.2, as one of the factors (0.34) is less than 1, thus reducing the overall product considerably.

D) 2.448

Option D is correct as it accurately reflects the product of multiplying 7.2 by 0.34. This result aligns with the mathematical operation when computed.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 2.448, accurately represents the product of the two given numbers. All other options fail to meet the criteria established by the multiplication of 7.2 and 0.34, either being too high or too low, thus confirming that D is the definitive correct choice.
