start by making the multiplication as if they were whole numbers
![\begin{gathered} 6525\cdot5=32625 \\ 6525\cdot4=26100 \\ 6525\cdot9=58725 \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/t7rup81vrq3nc828tgv41blwqgk853b8ii.png)
arrange the multiplication
count how many decimal places are there in total on both factors and add them together.
there are 2 in 65.25 and 2 in 9.45 meaning 4 decimal places in total
move the decimal point as many places you obtained
![(65.25)\cdot(9.45)=616.6125](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/mn9ga9jyumo0nlfvlz4gfnj9q9nlqnj4ov.png)
