Property 2 explains that when a decimal is multiplied by another decimal, decimal places in product are equal to sum of decimal places in multiplicand and multiplier. Example - Multiply 4.9 with 1.8 and we get 4.9 X 1.8 = 8.82 Now you can notice that: Product 8.82 has two decimal place i.e. digit 8 and 2 Multiplicand 4.9 has one decimal place i.e. digit 9 Multiplier 1.8 has one decimal place i.e. digit 8 And this shows: One decimal place of multiplicand + one decimal place of multiplier = two decimal places of product Let's try few more examples: 9.01 X 2.3 = 20.723 16.34 X 1.41 = 23.0394 7.217 X 3.28 = 23.67176 0.234 X 1.478 = 0.345852 Hence, above example clarifies that when a decimal is multiplied by another decimal, decimal places in product are equal to sum of decimal places in multiplicand and multiplier.
