Initial Curriculum Task

For nearly all of the problems in our classes, books, and online learning systems, we provide students with full solutions — not just answers — after they have completed the problems. Our goal in providing solutions is for all students to learn useful strategies that they can apply to similar problems in the future, regardless of whether or not they answered the problem correctly. Write a full solution to the following problem appropriate for a 5th-6th grade student. You should assume that students won’t be using calculators.

Problem: Place a nonzero digit in each box so that the equation is true. \[0.2\boxed{\phantom{?}} \times 7.\boxed{\phantom{?}} = 2.\boxed{\phantom{?}}\]

Feel free to use any digital format that you prefer when submitting your work.
