To multiply the decimals, we can first ignore the decimal points and multiply as if they were whole numbers, then adjust for the decimals.

1. Multiply 310 by 2 (ignoring the decimal in 0.0002):
\[
310 \times 2 = 620
\]

2. Next, we need to account for the decimal places. The number 0.0002 has 4 decimal places.

3. Therefore, we place the decimal point 4 places from the right in 620:
\[
620 \rightarrow 0.0620 \text{ (which is just 0.062)}
\]

So, the correct multiplication of 310 and 0.0002 is indeed:
\[
310 \times 0.0002 = 0.062
\]

Your statement is correct!
