- Ignore the decimals and multiply the two numbers as whole numbers.
- Put the decimal back in the answer.
- Count up how many digits are after the decimal point in both numbers you are multiplying. The answer should have that many numbers after its decimal point.
- Ignore the decimals and multiply the two numbers as whole numbers. 604 × 12 = 7248
- Hint: it is easier if you put the number with more digits on top.
- Put the decimal back in the answer. 6.04 has 2 decimal places and 1.2 has 1 decimal place, so the answer has 3 decimal places: 1.2 × 6.04 = 7.248
6.04 2 decimal places
x 1.2 1 decimal place
1208
+ 6040
7.248 3 decimal places
.14 × .47=
.14 × .47=
.14 2 decimal places
x .47 2 decimal place
98
+ 560
.0658 4 decimal places
(We had to include a 0 in the tenths place when we put back the decimal because we had to move 4 decimal places)
