Okay! Great!
Glad to be of help!
To multiply decimals, follow these steps:
Step 1: Ignore the decimal points and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers.
- 6.37 x 1.20 becomes 637 x 120
Step 2: Count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers.
- In this case, there are 2 decimal places in 6.37 and 2 decimal places in 1.20. So, there will be 4 decimal places in the final answer.
Step 3: Multiply the numbers as whole numbers.
- 637 x 120 = 76440
Step 4: Place the decimal point in the final answer.
- Starting from the rightmost digit, count the number of decimal places from Step 2 (4 in this case) and place the decimal point in that position.
- 76440 becomes 764.40
Therefore, 6.37 x 1.20 = 764.40.
