Mastering Multiplying Decimals

The video tutorial explains how to multiply decimals by treating them like whole numbers initially. It demonstrates the process using an example of multiplying 1.34 by 9.8. The tutorial covers setting up the problem, performing multiplication without considering the decimal points, and then adding the results. Finally, it explains how to correctly place the decimal point in the final answer by counting the total number of decimal places in the original numbers. The video concludes with a brief mention of additional resources for further practice.
