Question

I need help idont understand on how to multiply decimals​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry for the late response, but

Something I would recommend to start multiplying decimals is to multiply the number as if they were whole numbers first. For example;

Transform them like this:

  1.4             14

x 1.7          x 17

Multiply it:

  14

x 17= 238

Once you do this, move the decimal point to the left once for every number behind the original multiplication:

  1.4

x 1.7= 2.83

If the multiplation would have:

0.14

x 1.7= 0.283

or

  14

x 1.7= 28.3

I hoped this helped and if you want more help, just reply to this.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply just like normal and then you place the decimal by places behind the original numbers. .12 *.12 = .0144 (4 places BEHIND )
