0.25 multiplied by 0.4 the answer says 0.1 how do I get that I tried it doesn't come out the same

You could do it as if they were fractions

.4 equals 4/10 which equals 2/5

.25 equals 25/100 which equals 1/4

2/5 times 1/4 equals 2/20

2/20 equals 1/10

1/10 equals. 1

.1 is correct

You could also multiply decimals like this:

1. Multiply them together like full numbers

4 times 25 equals 100

2. Move the decimal in three times because the decimal. 4 is moved in once and. 25 is moved in twice so when you add them you get three

The answer would be. 1 or. 100 (it doesn't make a difference because you cross out any zeros at the end of a decimal Ex:.12300 equals. 123 but. 123001 stays. 123001)
