Quest 1: Decimal Match

Drag the handles to represent exactly 0.7 × 0.5 = 0.35. Look at how 35 hundredths grids are colored green!

Current Product: 0.25
Multiplier A (Width) Multiplicador A (Ancho) — Horizontal dimension
Multiplier B (Height) Multiplicador B (Alto) — Vertical dimension
Intersection Area (Product) Área de intersección (Producto) — The overlapping region
"When we multiply two decimals less than one, the product is smaller because we are finding a part of a part." "Cuando multiplicamos dos decimales menores que uno, el producto es menor porque estamos hallando una parte de una parte."
