Answer: SEE BELOW

Step-by-step explanation:

Decimals are multiplied as if they were whole numbers, and then the decimal point is placed in the product. To find out where the decimal point should be placed, count the number of decimal places after the decimal point in each factor.

0.43......... 2 decimal place(s) Add your decimal places = 3

0.2......... 1 decimal place(s)

0.086 Place decimal 3 decimal places in answer like so.
