Answer:

1999 × 24 = 47976

In 1.999 the are 3 digits after the decimal. In 2.4 there is 1 digit after the decimal.

3 + 1 = 4

We move the decimal 4 places to the left or 1 place to the right of 47976.

4.7976

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation: it is 4 because there are a total of 4 different decimal places in the equation so if the equation was 1.2 times 1.2 you would decimal hop 2 times because there are to numbers behind the decimal
