Answer:

3.12

Explanation:

Line up the number in long multiplication form as usual

Multiply each digit on the top by the first to the right on the bottom

Add the products together

Place the decimal the number of digits it is collectively in front of in each factor

Example 5.2 has one behind the decimal and .6 also has one digit behind the decimal collectively that would be two digits behind the decimal.
