Ignore the decimal point, multiply, count the places to the right of the decimal point, then count the same number from left to right in the answer,( after you add if nessicary) And put the decimal there. There's your answer. Example: 5 x 0.2 = 1.0 unusually, the number gets smaller after you add the decimal point.
