Answer 2

Decimal point in product is the sum of the decimal points in the numbers which we are multiplying.

For ex :

2.6 × 6.7 = 17.42

1 + 1 = 2

For, 1.7 × 2.5 the sum of decimal in each number is 1 and 1 .

So, decimal in product is at 2 i.e 4.25 .

For, 3.62 × 1.7 the sum of decimal in each number is 2 and 1.

Decimal in product is at 2 + 1 = 3 i.e 6.154 .

Therefore, solution is 1.7 × 2.5 = 4.25 and 3.62 × 1.7 = 6.154 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
