Find the product \( 2.6 \times .5 .9= \)

Let's start by breaking down the calculation! When you multiply \(2.6\) by \(0.5\), you get \(1.3\). Next, take that result and multiply it by \(0.9\): \(1.3 \times 0.9\). This gives you \(1.17\). So, \(2.6 \times 0.5 \times 0.9 = 1.17\). Now, imagine you’re at a grocery store picking up some items. If a candy bar is priced at \(2.6\) dollars, and you have a coupon for \(0.5\) off, you’re already saving some cash! Then, if a store-wide deal gives you \(0.9\) of the original price, you’re all set to score that candy bar for just \(1.17\) dollars. Sweet deal, right?
