What is the product of 6.021 and .4?

2.4084
2.427
2.05
2.612

The correct answer is: 2.4084

To find the product of 6.021 and 0.4, you multiply the two numbers directly. When you perform the multiplication: 6.021 * 0.4 = 2.4084 This calculation shows that the correct product is indeed 2.4084, which matches the first option. To clarify this further, it's important to understand how multiplication works with decimal numbers. The decimal point in 0.4 indicates that the product will also be a decimal. Since 0.4 is less than 1, you can expect the result to be less than 6.021. The precision of the calculation maintains the decimal places correctly, leading to the correct final answer. The other options represent calculations that do not yield the correct product when multiplying these specific numbers, indicating a misunderstanding of basic multiplication involving decimals, or they could simply be results from different operations or numbers.
