Fractions or decimal fractions.
If the two decimal numbers have x and y digits after the decimal points, then the product has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.
two.
Two places.
The decimal point is used to show that the number is not whole. Numbers after the decimal point show fractions of the number so there is more accuracy.

Two places.
-- Ignore the decimal point; just multiply the two whole numbers. -- After the multiplication is done, put the decimal point back into the product. Put it in the right place so that the product has as many digits after the point as the original decimal had. If there aren't enough digits in the product to do that, add some zeros to the left end of it.

Because the number of digits after the decimal place in a product does not require that.
When you multiply decimals, the decimal point is placed in the product.
The second decimal place to the right of the decimal point is called the hundredths place
Fractions have a 'bar' in them - 2/3 Decimals have a decimal point - 1.45
If the two multiplicands have X and Y digits after the decimal place then their product (before removing any trailing 0s) has (X+Y) digits after the decimal point.
It will be two places from the end.
