Arithmetic Grade Five

There is no limit to the amount of numbers you can multiply together, but we will keep it down to five numbers like this:


	.4 x .2 x .1 x .3 x .2 = 
	.08 x .1 x .3 x .2 =
	.008 x .3 x .2 = 
	.0024 x .2 =
	.00048

We can combine steps as in the following example:


	.3 x .5 x .2 x .4 x .6 = 
	.15 x .2 x .24 = 
	.15 x .048 =
	.00720 =
	.0072

Here's another example:


	.7 x .2 x .4 x .8 x .3 = 
	.14 x .32 x .3 =
	.14 x .096 = 
	.01344
