Multiplying Decimals Less Than 1 (Tenths × Tenths) — Easy Worksheet 1

Grade 5 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Answer each question. The same kind of product comes in different shapes. Write zeros in front if you need more decimal places.

How to solve

Multiply the digits as whole numbers (0.3 × 0.7 → 3 × 7 = 21). Add the decimal places of both factors (1 + 1 = 2) and give the answer that many: 0.21. If there are not enough digits, write zeros in front: 0.04 × 0.2 → 4 × 2 = 8, 3 places → 0.008.

Example
