Answer

Let us multiply 234 and 5.1.The first step is to multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers: 234 \times 51 = 11934Next, in the number 5.1, there is just one digit after the decimal point. In other words, it has only one decimal place.To obtain the correct answer, after performing the multiplication, we place a decimal point in the product (11934), making sure as before that there is one digit after the decimal point.So, moving one digit from right to left, starting from the extreme right of the number:11934.0 \rightarrow 1193.4Hence, the product of 234 and 5.1 is **1193.4**.
