$48.29\times 6.97$

Remove the decimal point and count the number of digits after the decimal.

Append number of zeroes to $1$ and put the term in the denominator of the number obtained after removing the decimal point from the given number.

Step 2: Multiplying $\frac{4829}{100}$ and $\frac{697}{100}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{4829}{100}\times \frac{697}{100}=\frac{3365813}{10000}$

$=336.5813$

Hence, $48.29\times 6.97$$=336.5813$
