分析:(1)0.125×0.25×0.5×0.64,把0.64分解,将原式转化为:0.125×0.25×0.5×0.2×0.4×8,然后运用乘法交换律和结合律进行简算.
(2)172.4×6.2+272.4×3.8,首先将原式转化为:172.4×6.2+(100+172.4)×3.8,再运用乘法分配律进行简算.
解答:解:(1)0.125×0.25×0.5×0.64,
=0.125×0.25×0.5×0.2×0.4×8,
=(0.125×8)×(0.25×0.4)×(0.5×0.2),
=1×0.1×0.1,
=0.01;
(2)172.4×6.2+272.4×3.8,
=172.4×6.2+(100+172.4)×3.8,
=172.4×6.2+172.4×3.8+100×3.8,
=172.4×(6.2+3.8)+380,
=172.4×10+380,
=1724+380,
=2104.
