What is \( 9.4 \cdot 2.99 ? \)

Did you know that multiplying decimals is just like multiplying whole numbers? You multiply as if the decimals aren’t there, then count the total number of decimal places in the numbers you started with and adjust your answer accordingly! In this case, \( 9.4 \) has one decimal place and \( 2.99 \) has two, so you'll move the decimal three places in your final result. When you calculate \( 9.4 \times 2.99 \), you get \( 28.106 \) before adjusting for the decimals. So, your final answer will be \( 28.106 \) which puts you right on the money!
