1. The problem is to multiply 409 by 6.932. 2. The formula for multiplication is simply $a \times b$ where $a=409$ and $b=6.932$. 3. Multiply the numbers: $409 \times 6.932$. 4. Calculate step-by-step: - $409 \times 6 = 2454$ - $409 \times 0.9 = 368.1$ - $409 \times 0.03 = 12.27$ - $409 \times 0.002 = 0.818$ 5. Add all partial products: $2454 + 368.1 + 12.27 + 0.818 = 2835.188$ 6. Therefore, the final answer is $2835.188$.
