1.78 x 0.005
To multiply the decimals, we can ignore the decimal points and treat the numbers as whole numbers. After multiplying, we will adjust the decimal point in the result.

1.78 x 0.005 = 178 x 0.005

Multiply as whole numbers:

178 x 0.005 = 0.89

Adjust the decimal point:

0.89 = 0.89

So, 1.78 x 0.005 = 0.89.
