1,4•1,2

To multiply 1.4 by 1.2, you can proceed as follows:

1. Multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers: \( 14 \times 12 = 168 \)

2. Count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers. Both 1.4 and 1.2 have one decimal place each, so there are a total of two decimal places.

3. Place the decimal point in the result: \( 168 \) → \( 1.68 \)

Thus, \( 1.4 \times 1.2 = 1.68 \).
