To determine how many decimal places are in the product of \( 25.6 \times 14.2 \), we first need to identify the number of decimal places in each of the numbers:
- \( 25.6 \) has 1 decimal place.
- \( 14.2 \) has 1 decimal place.
When multiplying two numbers, the total number of decimal places in the product is the sum of the decimal places of the two factors. Therefore, we add the decimal places:
\[ 1 + 1 = 2 \]
So, the product \( 25.6 \times 14.2 \) will have 2 decimal places.
Therefore, the answer is:
two
