Answer:

42 digits does
0.4^(24) * 0.375^(22) have to the right of the decimal point.

Explanation:

Trailing zeroes states that those which you get in decimal representation and after that there comes no digit.

Given the expression:


0.4^(24) * 0.375^(22)

Simplify:


1.19709242282867431640625 * 10^(-19)

Now, you will operate
10^(-19)

Which means decimal point will be shifted 19 digits left of its present position.

we have then,


0.000000000000000000119709242282867431640625

Hence, 42 digits does
0.4^(24) * 0.375^(22) have to the right of the decimal point.
