multiply both numbers by 10 to make them easier to work with
7.3 x 10 = 73 9.6 x 10 = 96 ------ 96 x 73= 96x 10= 960 960 x 7= 6720 96x 3 =288 ------ Add the following. 6720 ( 70 lots of 96 ) + 288 ( 3 lots of 96 ) to get = 7008 ------ because we multiplied them in the beginning we need to divide them back. 7008 ÷ 100 = 70.08.
