# "26."color(red)(1) xx"6."color(red)(15) = "160."color(red)(515)#

The issue here is the decimals.

When multiplying with decimals, the number of decimal places in the answer is the same as the original number of decimal places.

In # "26."color(red)(1) xx"6."color(red)(15)" "larr# there are 3 decimal places.

Multiply the numbers without any decimals.

#261 xx 615 = 160,515#

Now put in the correct number of decimal places in the answer.

#"160."color(red)(515)" "larr# there are 3 decimal places.
