One option (that I would use):

Ignore the decimals and multiply 13 x 916.

9 1 6

x 1 3

2 7 4 8

9 1 6 0

1 1 9 0 8

OK, now take into account there were a total of three digits to the right of decimal points (3, 1, and 6), so your answer also needs three digits to the right of your decimal point.

Answer 11.908
