Answer:

You multiply it like normal numbers. But when you do, count how many numbers are behind the decimal, say there are 2 numbers behind the decimal, once you finished multiplying the numbers you would add up all the products you got and then put the first 4 numbers you wrote behind the decimal to get the final product.

Explanation:

Say you were multiplying 14.63 and 7.74

14.63

x 7.74 Always starting from the right side of the equation

.5852 go to the left four digits and put a decimal then

↑←←←← just carry the decimal down and you'll end up with

10.2410 the final product

+ 102.4100

113.2362
