.12x1000 = 120
This questions is the kind of thing you can punch into a calculator and solve so I'm going to assume you want a complete explanation.
When multiplying decimals by any multiple of ten (ie. 100, 10000, 10000000000000) simply count the number of zero's and move the decimal place to the right that many times.
There are three zero's in the number 1000 so you should move the decimal place over three times to the right in the number .12
1st move: 1.2
2nd move: 12.0
3rd move: 120 (This is your solution)
