Multiplying two three digit decimals is very similar to the previous procedures.
The following explanation will not go step by step but will only show the work that
would be done.
Place one decimal above the other so that they are lined up on the right side.
Draw a line under the bottom number. Temporarily disregard the decimal points and
multiply the numbers like you would multiply a three digit number by a three digit number.
0.529
0.467
3703
3174
2116
0.247043
At the start we disregarded the decimal points. In the answer we counted up
the decimal places and moved the decimal place to its proper location. We have
three decimal places in both numbers so we move the decimal six places to the left
to give the final answer of 0.247043.
