No.

When a number is multiplied by 100 the digits all shift left two columns - the ones digit goes to the hundred column, the tens digit goes to the thousands column. the tenths digit goes to the tens column, etc.

As it is difficult to show this on paper, it is often demonstrated by showing the effect on the decimal point.

When the digits are shifted two columns to the left, the digit that now occupies the ones column is the digit that was originally in the hundredTHs column, the column that was 2 to the right of the decimal point. Thus in multiplying by 100 it looks like the decimal point gets moved to after the digit in the hundredths place.

The hundreds column is the column 3 to the left of the decimal point

The hundredths column is the column 2 to the right of the decimal point.

When multiplying by 100 the decimal point gets moved two digits to the right, with zeros being inserted if there were not two digits after the decimal point in the original number.

How many decimal places are in a product of a number with decimal places to the thousands multiplied by a number with decimal places to the hundreds?

To determine the number of decimal places in the product of two numbers, you add the decimal places of both numbers. A number with decimal places to the thousands has 3 decimal places, and a number with decimal places to the hundreds has 2 decimal places. Therefore, the product would have 3 + 2 = 5 decimal places.
