Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
0.25 x 0.044 = 0.011
a. Changing 0.25 to 25 moves the decimal 2 places to the right, and changing 0.044 to 44 moves the decimal 3 places to the right, so once we solve 25 x 44, we have to move the decimal a total of 5 places to the left.
25 x 44 = 1100, then move the decimal 5 places to the left to get 0.01100...but we don't add the zeros at the end.
b. multiplying 1/4 times 0.044 = 0.044/4 = 0.011
Hope this helps.

Answer:
This is a complete lesson with instruction & exercises for 5th grade about multiplying decimals by decimals. The interpretation for multiplying a decimal by a decimal is to think of it as taking a fractional part of a decimal number (the symbol × translates to "of"). The lesson compares multiplication by a decimal to scaling & shrinking a stick. Lastly, it shows the common shortcut to decimal multiplication (multiply as if there were no decimal points; the answer has as many decimals as the factors have in total.)
In the video below, I explain the rule for multiplying decimals (put as many decimal digits in the answer as there are in the factors.) I explain where this rule comes from, using fraction multiplication. The lesson continues below the video.
