I will be using a rough sketcher to show the long multiplication:

The process is shown below:

Note:

the last zero is taken down last, after the multiplication is done [shown by green arrow]

Lastly, we put the decimal point "2 places to the left" since the multiplication problem has "2 decimal places"
