Given the multiplication 29.5x1.3, the first step is to multiply the first digit from right to left of 1.3 by 29, then the second on another row with a 0 on the right.

We would get the following:

finally, to decide where we should put the decimal point, notice that both numbers on the multiplication have one digit after their decimal point, this means that the final result will have two digits after the decimal point from right to left, therefore, the final result is 38.35
