To find the product of [tex]\(0.67\)[/tex] and [tex]\(124\)[/tex]:
1. Start with the given numbers:
[tex]\[
0.67 \quad \text{and} \quad 124
\][/tex]
2. To multiply these two numbers, you can break it down into simpler steps:
- First, multiply [tex]\(0.67\)[/tex] by [tex]\(100\)[/tex] to convert it to a whole number. This gives:
[tex]\[
0.67 \times 100 = 67
\][/tex]
- Next, multiply [tex]\(67\)[/tex] by [tex]\(124\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
67 \times 124 = 8308
\][/tex]
- Now, since we initially multiplied [tex]\(0.67\)[/tex] by [tex]\(100\)[/tex], we must divide the result by [tex]\(100\)[/tex] to revert to the original scale:
[tex]\[
\frac{8308}{100} = 83.08
\][/tex]
This step-by-step process shows that the product of [tex]\(0.67\)[/tex] and [tex]\(124\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{83.08}
\][/tex]
