Best Answer

If you are asked to give an answer to three decimal places and you have an answer such as 0.987654 then you would take the first three numbers after the decimal so in this case it would be 987, however, you would need to round this up since you have a six after it. The general rule is that if the number following your cut off point is greater than 5 you round up one number and if it is less than 5 you leave it the same. Therefore, your answer would be 0.988

What do you do with the decimal point when multiplying?

Let me show you an example 34.56 x 76.096 Take away the decimals 3456 x 76096 Find the answer to this 262987776 Now go back to your two original numbers and find how many decimals places they each have 34.56 has 2 decimals 76.096 has 3 decimals Since you have 2 and 3 decimals you have to put 5 decimal places in your final answer 2629.87776 this is your answer

I need help with decimals 2.1 x 5.01?

A simple trick with multiplying decimal numbers is to remove the decimals, multiply the two numbers, then add the decimals back in. The number of decimals you add back in is the total number of decimal places. For example, the stated problem has 1 decimal places in 2.1 and 2 decimal places in 5.01. So first we do the following: 21x501=10521 Now we add 1+2=3 decimal places into the result above: 10.521 That's the answer.
