To evaluate the expression \( pqr \) given the values \( p = 2 \), \( q = 4.9 \), and \( r = 3.5 \), we simply multiply the three numbers together:
\[ pqr = 2 \times 4.9 \times 3.5 \]
First, we calculate \( 2 \times 4.9 \):
\[ 2 \times 4.9 = 9.8 \]
Next, we multiply the result by \( 3.5 \):
\[ 9.8 \times 3.5 = 34.3 \]
Thus, \( pqr = 34.3 \).
The final answer is:
\[ \boxed{34.3} \]
