well here is one way
105/ 10 * 525 /100 = (105 * 525) / 1000 = 55125/1000 = 55.125
10.5 times 5.25
I did not search google because I want someone to explain the steps to getting the answer.
PS: I can multiply I just never learned how to multiply decimals.
105/ 10 * 525 /100 = (105 * 525) / 1000 = 55125/1000 = 55.125
Note that Damon's answer is just 105*525, with 2+1=3 decimal places.
Step 1: Ignore the decimal points and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers.
In this case, multiply 10.5 by 5.25 like you would with whole numbers:
10.5 x 5.25 = 55125
Step 2: Count the total number of decimal places in both the numbers you're multiplying.
In our example, 10.5 has one decimal place (the zero after the decimal point), and 5.25 has two decimal places (the zero and five after the decimal point).
Step 3: Place the decimal point in the answer by counting the total number of decimal places.
Since there are three decimal places in total (one from 10.5 and two from 5.25), place the decimal point three places from the right in the answer.
The final answer is 55.125.
So, 10.5 multiplied by 5.25 equals 55.125.
