You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1) of means multiply so 1/5 of 325 is \"%281%2F5%29%28325%29=65\"
\n" ); document.write( "2) \".03+%2A+4378=%283%2A4378%29%2F100\"
\n" ); document.write( "3 times 8 is 24 write 4 carry 2
\n" ); document.write( "3 times 7 is 21+2 is 23 write 3 next to 4 and carry the 2
\n" ); document.write( "3 times 3 is 9+2 is 11 write 1 next to 3 and carry the 1
\n" ); document.write( "3 times 4 is 12+1 is 13 write 13 next to 1
\n" ); document.write( "your number now should be 13134 now divide by 100
\n" ); document.write( "when diviting by 100 you move the decimal place 2 times to the left
\n" ); document.write( "13134.0/100=131.34
\n" ); document.write( "so the answer is 131.34
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
