-- Ignore the decimal point; just multiply the two whole numbers.
-- After the multiplication is done, put the decimal point back into the product.
Put it in the right place so that the product has as many digits after the point
as the original decimal had. If there aren't enough digits in the product to do
that, add some zeros to the left end of it.

A decimal, in this context, is a useless description: a decimal can be an integer, a rational number or an irrational number. Furthermore, a whole number times a decimal fraction can be a whole number, a rational number or an irrational number.For example:4 * 3.5 = 14 is a whole number times a decimal fraction = whole number.4 * 3.3 = 13.2 is a whole number times a decimal fraction = rational fraction.4 * 3.14159...
