Question

What value should go in the empty box to complete the calculation for finding the product of 62.834 × 0.45? 62.834 times 0.45 gives two partial products. The first is 314170, and the second is unknown.

Answer 1

In this item, we are to supply for the missing term on one side of the equation. The left side is given to be composed of 62.834 x 0.45. The right hand side is given to be composed of 314170 along with a missing entity. 

Translating the given to mathematical expression and letting A be the unknown,
  62.834 x 0.45  = 314170 A

To determine the value of A, divide both sides of the equation by 314170.
             (314170A)/(314170) = (62.834 x 0.45) / 314170
                 A = 0.00009

The missing value is 0.00009 or 9.0 x 10^-5.
