To compute (1.24) * (0.15), you can follow these steps: 1. Ignore the decimal points for now and multiply 124 by 15 to get 1,860. 2. Count the total number of decimal places in the numbers being multiplied. In this case, there are 2 decimal places in 1.24 and 2 decimal places in 0.15, making a total of 4 decimal places. 3. Place the decimal point in the answer so that it has the same total number of decimal places as the numbers being multiplied. In this case, the result is 1,860, so the decimal point should be placed 4 places from the right: 18.60. Therefore, when you compute (1.24) * (0.15), the result is 0.1860.
