To find the product of \( 4 \times 1.82 \), follow these steps:
1. Understanding the Multiplication:
- We need to multiply the whole number 4 by the decimal number 1.82.
2. Estimating the Answer:
- To make sure we're in the right ballpark, note that \( 4 \times 2 = 8 \).
- Since 1.82 is slightly less than 2, we expect the product to be slightly less than 8.
3. Performing the Multiplication:
- \( 4 \times 1.82 = 7.28 \)
- Here, we treat the decimal multiplication, and it's crucial to keep track of the decimal places.
4. Final Product:
- The product of \( 4 \) and \( 1.82 \) is \( 7.28 \).
