Multiply: (0.67)(0.09) =

  1. 0.000603
  2. 0.006030
  3. 0.060300
  4. 0.603000

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The product of two decimals will always have the same number of decimal places as the sum of the number of decimal places that the multiplicand and the multiplier have.

(67)(9) = 603. The multiplicand is 0.67 and has 2 decimal places. The multiplier is 0.09 and has 2 decimal places. Our product should have 4 decimal places. Therefore, our answer is 0.0603. Don't get tripped up by the extra zeros. Zeros before our answer and after the decimal point increase the number of decimal places. Zeros after our answer and after the decimal point do not increase the number of decimal places.
