Hi Isaac,
Decimals come with many rules and can sometimes be frustrating.
When multiplying decimals, you need to add their places,

4.4 x 2.2 = (1place+1place)

  4.4
x2.2
    88
+880
  9.68 = (2places)

The rest should be remembering rules of multiplying. Hope this helps :)

Isaac,

I would do this slightly differently. Ignore the decimals to get $44 \times 22 = 968.$ That's what Melanie did and then added (1place + 1place = 2 places) to decide where to place the decimal. After obtaining the 968 I would look at the original problem, $4.4 \times 2.2$ and say that's about $4.5 \times 2$ which is $9$ so the decimal must go after the $9$ to hence $4.4 \times 2.2 = 9.68.$
