Step 2: Decide where to place the decimal point. There are two decimal places in 3.05
and one decimal place in 4.8. So there are a total of three decimal places in the
question. We write the answer, 14 640, with three decimal places: 14.640 = 14.64.
2 Evaluate 0.6 × 4.1.
Solution

Because there is a total of two decimal places in the question, we need to write the
answer, 246, with two decimal places. The answer is 2.46.
