Answer:

68.048

Step-by-step explanation:

1. I ignored the decimal point and multipled the two numbers normally.

2. I counted the number of decimal places in the decimal numbers in the equation and added them up. The product after multiplication will have that number of decimal places.

3. I placed the decimal point the same amount of places as the number had.

I used a wiki how image and wrote a bit on it for further demonstration.
