Multiplying 3 Digits by 3 Digits

To review what we have already discussed last week, whenever we multiply 3 digit numbers with other 3 digit numbers, we need to be mindful of the placeholders, and how many placeholders go on each line when solving.

The first line gets NO placeholder, the second line will get 1 place holder, and the third line will get 2 place holders.

The same rules of place holders will apply whenever we are multiplying decimals. Just we will have to remember to place the decimal in the FINAL answer once we are done.

We cannot place the decimal until we have finished multiplying and got the final answer, otherwise it will greatly change the answer.
