Answer 2

Answer:

3 decimal places are in the product.

Step-by-step explanation:

Why 3 but not 2? There are three decimal places not only in this problem but other problems because when your answer is out, you always have to put your decimal aligned with the other decimals. The answer will also have a decimal, so there is going to be 3 decimals in total. So, the answer would be

|  25.8  × 14.2  = 366.36  |  As you can see, there is a third decimal in the answer, and if both of the factors have a decimal, the answer will come out as a decimal, so there is going to be three decimal places. Stay safe and God bless you all!
