Multiplying decimals is the same as multiplying whole numbers except for the placement of the decimal point in the answer. When you multiply decimals, the decimal point is placed in the product so that the number of decimal places in the product is the sum of the decimal places in the factors.
Mike's plant plant height grew by 3 in
Lauren's grew 2 1/2 times of 3 in
So, 2 1/2 times of 3 in
= 2 1/2 x 3
= 5/2 x 3
= 15/2 = 7 1/2 inches

If you're looking for another way to express decimal numbers, try this. Any decimal can be expressed by dividing the decimal number without the decimal point by how many place values it has. Example: .08 can be expressed by taking 08 and dividing it by 100 (because the decimal goes out to the hundredths place). So, .08 = 8/100 or 4/50 or 2/25.
