To multiply 0.72 by 0.29, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Ignore the decimal points and multiply as if you're multiplying whole numbers: 72 * 29 = 2088
Step 2: Count the total decimal places in the numbers you are multiplying. In this case, there are 4 decimal places (2 in 0.72 and 2 in 0.29).
Step 3: Place the decimal point in the answer, starting from the right, after the total number of decimal places you counted in step 2. In this case, the answer will have a total of 4 decimal places, so place the decimal point 4 places from the right: 0.72 * 0.29 = 0.2088
Therefore, 0.72 multiplied by 0.29 equals 0.2088.
