What is the main concept when multiplying decimals?
Multiply normally, then move the decimal at the end
Do you line up decimals when multiplying?
No, NEVER line up decimal points when multiplying
Example problem
16.76 × 8
Step 1: Ignore the decimal
Multiply like whole numbers
8 × 6
48 → write 8, carry 4
8 × 7
56 + 4 = 60 → write 0, carry 6
8 × 6
48 + 6 = 54 → write 4, carry 5
8 × 1
8 + 5 = 13 → final product without decimal = 13408
Step 2: Count decimal places
16.76 has 2 decimal places
How many decimal places to move?
2 places from the right
Final answer of 16.76 × 8
134.08 ✅
