Multiplying Decimals


1. Count the digits that are to the right of the decimal point. There were 5 digits.
2. Multiply the numbers normally. 158 x 25 was 3950.
3. Re-insert the decimal point into 3950. Since there are 5 digits to the right of the decimal point, you need to go 5 digits from the right and insert the decimal point.
Answer: 0.03950
