Question

How many decimal places
are there in the product of 239.4 and 0.037.​

Answer 1

so 3 decimal places

You add up the number of digits after the decimal in each number.

There are three digits past the decimal in the first number and

NONE in the second.

So that is a total of 3 decimal places.

Compare this to the following problem for the sake of understanding.

1.2 x 1.2 = 1.44 because 12 x 12 = 144.

There is one place past the decimal in each number.

So that makes a total of 2 decimal places in the answer.

A third and final example is :

1.234 x 9.87654 will have an answer that contains 3 + 5 = 8 decimal digits.

It is in fact 12.18765036
