2. Multiplying Decimals 1. Multiply 2. Move the decimal

3. Multiply Decimals Step 1 --- Ignore the decimal Step 2 --- Rewrite the problem Step 3 --- Multiply the problem Step 4 --- Underline all numbers to the right of decimal(s) in original problem Step 5 --- Move decimal that many places left in your answer

4. Steps 1 & 2 Ignore decimals and rewrite the problem 4. 5 6 X 0. 3 9 4 5 6 x 3 9

5. Step 3 Multiply problem without decimals 4 5 6 x 3 9 4 1 0 4 + 1 3 6 8 0 1 7 7 8 4

6. Step 4 Underline numbers to the right of decimals in original problem 4. 5 6 x 0. 3 9 --------------- ( 4 places)

7. Step 5 Move decimal that many places left in answer o 4 5 6 o x 3 9 o 4 1 0 4 o + 1 3 6 8 0 o 1 7 7 8 4 ( 4 places)
