Multiplication: how to do Multiplying Decimals
To multiply decimals, follow these steps:
1. Align the decimal points of the numbers being multiplied so that they line up vertically.
2. Multiply the digits in each column, ignoring the decimal point for now.
3. Write down the product of each column under the corresponding columns of the original numbers.
4. Add the decimal points to the products from step 3 to get the final answer.
Here’s an example:
0.75 x 0.2 = ?
aligning the decimal points:
0.75
x 0.2
multiplying the digits in each column:
1 (ignore)
5 x 2 = 10
7 x 0 = 0
carrying the 1 from the previous column:
10 + 1 = 11
writing down the product of each column:
1.10
adding the decimal points to the products from step 3:
0.75 x 0.2 = 0.15
