3. Shade 8 horizontal strips to represent 0.8 (8 parts out 0.8
8
of 10 = = 0.8).
10

4. Further divide the square into 10 equal parts by drawing 0.8
vertical lines.

0.2
5. Shade 2 vertical strips by a different colour to represent
0.2.
6. The double shaded small squares represent the product.

Number of double shaded small squares = 16 0.8
Total number of small squares = 100

Double shaded squares represent 16 = 0.16
100

So, 0.8 × 0.2 = 0.16

Now, find 0.5 × 0.9 by shading the adjoining square.
