Answer 2

Answer: When you multiply decimals they should add up otherwise move to the left but if you multiply by 10 the decimal moves to the right because of the change in numbers from ones to hundreds and so on. An easier way to unterstand is when you multiply the regular way don't multiply the decimal but count however many places that decimal takes up add it with the other decimals and the put it in the solution. EX:

5                      1.2

x.1                  x 2.28

--------         --------------

.5                     2.736
