Multiplying a 2-digit number by 375

1. Select a 2-digit number.
2. Multiply by 3.
3. Divide by 8.
4. Move the decimal point 3 places to the right.

   Example:

1. The 2-digit number chosen to multiply by 375 is 38.
2. Multiply by 3: 3 x 38 = 90 + 24 = 114
3. Divide by 8: 114/8 = 14 2/8 14.25
4. Move the decimal point 3 places to the right: 14250
5. So 375 x 38 = 14250.

   See the pattern?

1. The 2-digit number chosen to multiply by 375 is 64.
2. Multiply by 3: 3 x 64 = 180 + 12 = 192
3. Divide by 8: 192/8 = 24
4. Move the decimal point 3 places to the right: 24000
5. So 375 x 64 = 24000.

Multiply left to right to get products, and express the remainder as a fraction that is easily written as a decimal.
