Explain the process of multiplying two decimal numbers together?

Answer 1

To times two decimal numbers together you take the sum, lets say....

0.4 x 0.37

First you times the numbers without the decimals so this would be

4 x 37

Which equals 148

so now you have the answer, count how many numbers are after the decimal points in the actual oringinal problem.

This prblem has 3 decimal places.

so you move the decimal point from the end of the number 148 3 spots to the left

so the answer is 0.148

the whole thing will look like this

0.4 x 0.37 = 0.148

Hope this helps :)
