Multiplying decimals:

Example: 2.5 x 1.3 = 3.25

Start by removing the decimal points, thus: 25 x 13 = (the answer is 325)

Both 2.5 and 1.3 have 1 decimal places, so 1 + 1 = 2 (decimal places)

Counting 2 places, right to left, places the decimal point here: 3.25

Search Google for division of decimals - there are plenty of how to examples and help on the internet!
