Remember: Do NOT line up the decimals. Instead, count how many digits are behind a decimal point in the two factors (the two numbers being multiplied together). Then make sure the same number of digits is behind the decimal point in the product (the final answer). If two letters are smushed together, multiply the numbers they represent together. Example: Find xy if x = 3 and y = 4. 3 × 4 = 12 Correct This does NOT mean 34 and it does NOT mean 3 + 4 = 7. 1. 82.7 × 8
