How do you multiply 14.60 * 870

12702

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 2 digits after the decimal in 14.60, add a decimal to the 870 and put two 0s after it (So it looks like this 870.00)

Then put the two numbers on top of each other, make sure to line up the decimals and multiply normally. When you're done, you should come out with the number 127020000. Since there is 2 digits behind the first number and 2 digits behind the second number, resulting in 4 digits, you're gonna count 4 numbers from the back of your answer and put a decimal there (so it is now 12702.0000) but you don't really need those 0s there so you can just remove them. (Answer 12702)

Hope this helped. If not, search up "Multiply a Whole Number by a Decimal | Math with Mr. J"  it might explain better
