Since the two factors in the original product have three digits to the right of the decimal points between them, position the decimal point in the product such that three digits are at its right. The result, therefore, is

### Example Question #1 : How To Multiply Fractions

Multiply:

Explanation:

First, remove the decimal points, multiplying as follows:

Between them, the two factors have five digits to the right of their decimal points, so position the decimal point in the product so that there are five digits to the right. This will require placing a zero in front as a placeholder, so the final result is
