How do i do 14.9*o.35 step by step?

Question

I keep trying but i get it wrong each time

Answer 1

Write the two numbers in a column as you would any other multiplication.

 

14.9

0.35

 

Now multiply as you would any other two numbers. You can ignore the decimal points for now.

 

When you have the product, count the number of decimal places in the two numbers. The top number has 1 and the bottom number has 2. That total 3. So the product has 3 numbers to the right of the decimal point.
