To multiply decimals

Just follow these steps:

Step 1 Multiply normally, ignoring the decimal points.
Step 2 Then put the decimal point in the answer - it will have as many decimal places as the two original numbers combined.

To divide decimal numbers:

Step 1: If the divisor is not a whole number, move decimal point to right to make it a whole number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.

Step 2: Divide as usual. ...

Step 3: Put decimal point directly above decimal point in the dividend.

Step 4: Check your answer.

So 6.85 ÷ .5 = 13.7
