The first step is to give each of the numbers a letter. A simple choice is x and y.
Their product can also be given a letter, say p.
Then the multiplication sentence might be written as:
p = x × y
However, the multiplication symbol (×) looks very much like the letter x; so to avoid any confusion in algebra multiplication is not written explicitly (using the multiplication symbol above), but implicitly by writing letters together - whenever any two (or more) items in algebra are next to each other it means multiply them together, eg "xy" means "x times y", "5y" means "5 times y", "5xy" means "5 times x times y". Thus the multiplication sentence is written as:
p = xy
Now, there are further restrictions given, namely:
p ≈ 10 with 3 dp
The second and third are easy and straightforward:
Chose one of the letters (say x) for the condition that one number is less than 1, and the other letter (in this case y) for the condition that the other is greater than one; these are then written in mathematical terms:
x >1, y < 1
Which makes the whole multiplication sentence:
p = xy given x>1, y<1 and p≈10 with 3 dp
Decimal products are numbers that are the result of multiplication procedures and are not whole numbers. Decimal quotients are numbers that are the result of division procedures and are not whole numbers.

You multiply the numbers like you multiply integers. Count how many numbers are after the decimal points in both numbers combined and move the decimal point in front of the answer.
Knowing simple multiplication facts can help with division of greater numbers because you will be familiar with how many times numbers can be put into other numbers. Once you know multiplication, division is easy.
The numbers being mutiplied together is a "factor."

The decimal that's greater is .57 because it has the least amount of numbers.
It is the multiplication of numbers where one or more of the multiplicands is in decimal form.
0.008 is the greater from the given two decimal numbers.
