#24.56xx12.3=302.088#

Explanation:

To multiply #24.56# and #12.3#, let us first put them as fractions

#24.56xx12.3=2456/100xx123/10=(2456xx123)/(100xx10)=(2456xx123)/1000#

So, let us multiply them normally and

#2456xx123=2456xx100+2456xx20+2456xx3#

= #245600+49120+7368=302088#

Hence #24.56xx12.3=302088/1000=302.088#
