Elena multiplies 0.06 × 0.5 on a calculator. The calculator shows a product of 0.03. Elena says the calculator must be broken because multiplying tenths by hundredths always gives a product in thousandths. Is Elena’s calculator broken? Explain.

no it is not broken

Step-by-step explanation:

There's 3 total decimal places in both numbers.

Ignore the decimal places and complete the multiplication as if operating on two integers.

     6

×    5

+  30

=  30Rewrite the product with 3 total decimal places.

Answer = 0.030

Therefore:

0.06 × 0.5 = 0.030

i'm assuming it's looking for the missing length, which should be 4cm

hope this !
