Answer:

0.0108

Explanation:

3.6 multiplied by 0.003

1. First you write down the numbers one on top of the other

0.003

x 3.6

-----------

2. Multiply 6 by all the numbers in 0.003

0.003

x 3.6

-----------

0018

3. Multiply 3 by all the numbers in 0.003. But because "3" is followed by a number you leave a blank or a zero in the ones place

0.003

x 3.6

---------------

0018

+ 00090

---------------

4. Add the numbers you got

0.003

x 3.6

---------------

0018

+ 00090

---------------

00108

5. Count the number of decimal points or numbers after the decimal point in both numbers and add them

3.6 = one decimal place

0.003= three decimal places

Three plus one = four

6. Count the total number of decimal places

0010.8 = one decimal place

001.08 = two decimal places

00.108 = three decimal places

0.0108 = four decimal places
