That's right, Juan. We line up the numbers and multiply like normal.
Then we count the digits to the right of the decimals in both factors.
Finally, in the product, we count from right to left the same number of places and put the decimal point there.

It's 15.998!
Awesome job! Can someone explain why Sheila put the decimal between the 5 and the 9?

You're right! Great explanation!
