Multiplying with Decimals

2
Our friend: The place value chart
3
We've already learned how to multiply larger numbers, and how to add and subtract decimals, but now let's learn to multiply with decimals.
4
Here we have a decimal.
Remember our place values!
5
Multiple Choice
In 2.34, which statement is correct?
The 2 is in the tens place
The three is in the ones place
The 2 is in the ones place
The 4 is in the tenths place
6
Now we have 1.2.
We're going to ignore the decimal in these numbers, so 1.2 becomes 12 and 2.34 becomes 234.
7
To multiply numbers with decimals, we multiply as usual.
Just ignore the decimal signs for now!
8
Using the area model
Or if you are confident in the traditional method of multiplying, that's okay too!

Multiple Choice
What's the result of 234x12?
5123
6363
3123
2808

But what about our decimals???

Let's take a step back and look at each individual multiplier.
We're not going to forget about our answer, but we'll come back to it.

Look at how many digits are after the decimal sign.
The numbers after the decimal sign is "3" and "4."

How many decimal places did we have in total?
Let go back to our answer to 2.34 x 1.2, which was 2808!

We need 3 decimal places in our answer of 2808.
So our 2808 becomes 2.808.

Let's do another example.
We're going to count the decimal places.
