Best Answer

if you had 3.2

X 6.8

then yo count the number of places from the right till you reach the decimal then add those two numbers together and move it that many places in the answer.

So both numbers here have 1 place till the decimal so 1+1=2 so move it two places to the left in your answer.

Hope this helps you out.
