$3/25$

Turn the two numbers into fractions and then multiply.

$0.4=4/10=2/5$

$0.3=3/10$

$(2/5)*(3/10)=(2*3)/(10*5)=6/50=3/25$

A different approach

$0.12$

$0.4$ is the same as $4xx1/10$

$0.3$ is the same as $3xx1/10$

Putting all of this together gives.

$0.4xx0.3" "=" "4xx3xx1/10xx1/10$

$12xx1/100 = 0.12$

As the question is in decimal format the solution should also be in decimal format
