About this worksheet
To multiply decimals in columns, multiply as if the decimal points were not there and then put the point back so the answer has as many decimal places as both factors together. On this fifth grade sheet a child multiplies eight pairs written one under the other, a decimal times a whole number or a decimal times a decimal, with room to work below. Each version has different numbers, and the answer key shows every product.
