Question

Multiply the decimal numbers.

$9.3\times 2.8$

Answer 1

Step 1: Ignore the decimal point and multiply the decimal numbers with the usual multiplication.

$93\times 28=2604$

Step 2: Count the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the decimal number.

$9\underline{.3}\times 2\underline{.8}$

In this case, we have $2$ digits after the decimal point.

Step 3: Put the decimal point in the product by counting the same number of digits from its rightmost place.

$26\underline{.04}$

Therefore, $9.3\times 2.8=26.04$
