0.91×2.70= 145.70

I know for SURE that this answer is incorrect because I logically know the answer had to be less than 3. I Iined up the decimals and multiplied each digit in 2.70 with each digit in 0.91, and I kept redoing the equation over and over, trying to see what I did wrong but I can't find it. :/
What am I doing wrong and how can I fix that to get the right answer?

I got 2.43 I'm not sure what answer that you got but just make sure that once you multiply all the numbers you move the decimal to the left four times.
