0.2 x 0.3 = 0.06
When multiplying decimals, you can follow these steps:
- Ignore the decimal points and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers. In this case, 2 x 3 = 6.
- Count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers. 0.2 has one decimal place and 0.3 has one decimal place, making a total of two decimal places.
- Place the decimal point in the product so that it has the same number of decimal places as the total counted in step 2. Starting from the right side of the number 6, move the decimal point two places to the left. This gives us 0.06.
Therefore, 0.2 x 0.3 = 0.06.
