How many digits will be there to the right of the decimal point in the product…

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Count the decimal places of the factors:

   • 95.75 has 2 decimal places (7 and 5).

   • .02554 has 5 decimal places (0, 2, 5, 5, 4).

2. Sum the decimal places:

   • Total sum = 2 + 5 = 7 decimal places.

3. Account for trailing zeros:

   • When multiplying, you effectively ignore the decimal points and multiply the whole numbers: 9575 * 2554.

   • The last digit of 9575 is 5, and the last digit of 2554 is 4.

   • Multiplying these gives 5 * 4 = 20.

   • Because this multiplication results in a trailing zero, that zero at the end of the product will be dropped or simplified, reducing the total count of significant digits to the right of the decimal point from 7 to 6.
