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.
