Multiplying Decimals and Distributive Property

The video tutorial explains how to multiply decimals using the distributive property. It breaks down decimal numbers into parts to simplify multiplication. Three examples are provided: 2 times 7.4, 5 times 6.2, and 9 times $2.04. Each example demonstrates how to separate the whole number and decimal part, multiply them individually, and then add the results to find the final product.
