How do i find the product when multiplying with decimals

Step 1:

first let us convert the two decimals into fractions.

0.36=36/100 (since there are two digits after decimal point we divide by 100)

2.4=24/10 (since there are one digit after decimal point we divide by 10)

now we can multiply the fractions

×

multiplying numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator:

=

Now we can convert this back to decimal

864/1000=0.864, moving decimal three digits to the left since we have three zeros in the denominator that is 1000.

Answer=0.864

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !
