Answer 1

1.26

Explanation:

To solve 4.2*0.03, you move the decimal point to the right however many times to both numbers until they are whole numbers.

Doing this, we have 420*3, which took 3 decimal point shifts, so now we do 420*3 to get 1260, and then go 3 decimal places to the left to get the actual answer.

Thus, 4.2*0.03=1.260=1.26
