My answer for 0.79 x 3.7 is 2.923. It is 2.923 because when you do the problem on paper that is what you get. Also not to be rude or nothing im good at math.

Solution, 0.79\cdot \:3.7=2.923


Steps:


\mathrm{Multiply\:without\:the\:decimal\:points,\:then\:put\:the\:decimal\:point\:in\:the\:answer}, 79\cdot \:37=2923


79\cdot \:37, \mathrm{Line\:up\:the\:numbers}, \begin{matrix}\space\space&7&9\\ \mathrm{x}&3&7\end{matrix}


\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:top\:number\:by\:the\:bolded\:digit\:of\:the\:bottom\:number}, \begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{7}&\textbf{9}\\ \mathrm{x}&3&\textbf{7}\end{matrix}


\mathrm{Mutliply\:the\:bold\:numbers}:\quad \:9\cdot \:7=63
\mathrm{Carry\:}6\mathrm{\:to\:the\:column\:on\:the\:left\:and\:write\:}3\mathrm{\:in\:the\:result\:line}
\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&6&\space\space\\ \space\space&7&\textbf{9}\\ \mathrm{x}&3&\textbf{7}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&3\end{matrix}}


\mathrm{Add\:the\:carried\:number\:to\:the\:multiplication}:\quad \:6+7\cdot \:7=55,
\mathrm{Carry\:}5\mathrm{\:to\:the\:column\:on\:the\:left\:and\:write\:}5\mathrm{\:in\:the\:result\:line}, \frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&5&\textbf{6}&\space\space\\ \space\space&\space\space&\textbf{7}&9\\ \mathrm{x}&\space\space&3&\textbf{7}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&5&3\end{matrix}}


\mathrm{Add\:the\:carried\:digit,\:}5\mathrm{,\:to\:the\:result}, \frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&5&6&\space\space\\ \space\space&\space\space&7&9\\ \mathrm{x}&\space\space&3&7\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&5&5&3\end{matrix}}


\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{7}&\textbf{9}\\ \space\space&\mathrm{x}&\textbf{3}&7\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&5&5&3\end{matrix}}


\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&2&\space\space\\ \space\space&\space\space&7&\textbf{9}\\ \space\space&\mathrm{x}&\textbf{3}&7\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&5&5&3\\ \space\space&\space\space&7&\space\space\end{matrix}}


\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&2&\textbf{2}&\space\space\\ \space\space&\space\space&\textbf{7}&9\\ \mathrm{x}&\space\space&\textbf{3}&7\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&5&5&3\\ \space\space&3&7&\space\space\end{matrix}}


\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&2&2&\space\space\\ \space\space&\space\space&7&9\\ \mathrm{x}&\space\space&3&7\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&5&5&3\\ 2&3&7&\space\space\end{matrix}}


\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&7&9\\ \space\space&\mathrm{x}&3&7\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}0&5&5&3\\ 2&3&7&0\end{matrix}}

553+2370=2923, =2.923
