How are multiplying whole numbers and multiplying decimals similar and different

Multiplying decimals is very much like multiplying whole numbers - the major difference is that after you have finished multiplying all the terms (while ignoring the decimal points), you have to add up how many decimal places there are in the factors, and put that many decimal places in the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.multiply by the number in the ones place

2.but a zero below in the ones place to holds its place

3.multiply the number in the tenths place

They are different because multiplying whole numbers: you get a whole number ex: 3 x 7 = 21

Multiplying decimals: you get a whole and part of a whole ex: 12.39 x 2.5 = 30.975
