Answer:

27.756

Explanation:

1) Move all the decimal points to the right and do the multiplication

18 * 1524 = 27756

1.8 to 19 = one move

15.42 to 1542 = two moves

total three decimal point shifts

2) count the number (total) that you moved the decimal points

3) starting from the right move the decimal point that many times to the LEFT in for the answer

27.756
