I assume you want to do this without a calculator, why else post it ?
write it like this:
= (16/1000)*(84/1000)*(100/48)
= (16)(84)/48 * (100/1000)(1/1000)
= (16)/(48)*(84) * (1/10)(1/1000)
= (1/3)*(84) * (1/10)(1/1000)
= 28 * 1/10000
= .00028, it will be assumed that you would do this mentally

0.016 ∙ 0.084 / 0.48 = 1 000 000 ∙ 0.016 ∙ 0.084 / 1 000 000 ∙ 0.48
= 16 ∙ 84 / 480 000 = 16 ∙ 84 / 16 ∙ 30 000 = 84 / 30 000 =
12 ∙ 7 / 12 ∙ 2 500 = 7 / 2 500
= 16 ∙ 84 / 480 000 = 16 ∙ 84 / 16 ∙ 30 000 = 84 / 30 000 =
12 ∙ 7 / 12 ∙ 2 500 = 7 / 2 500
and
28 ∙ 1 / 10000 = 0.0028
28 ∙ 1 / 10000 = 0.0028
