To multiply decimal numbers:
Multiply the numbers just as if they were whole numbers.
Line up the numbers on the right - do not align the decimal points.
Starting on the right, multiply each digit in the top number by each digit in the bottom number, just as with whole numbers.
Add the products.
Place the decimal point in the answer by starting at the right and moving a number of places equal to the sum of the decimal places in both numbers multiplied.

Just count the number of decimals in your equation and use that many in your answer.
