Best Answer

Before comparing the two numbers, you must first find the product of 1.2 and 3.6. To multiply with decimals, first multiply the numbers as if they didn't have any.

12 x 36 = 432

Now, to place the decimal point correctly in the answer, count the number of places that are in the original multipliers (1.2 and 3.6). There are two: .2 and .6. So, place the decimal in the product two spaces from the right. Your answer now becomes 4.32, which is less than 5.
