Find the products :
`2.8 xx16`

Answer

To find the product of 2.8 and 16, follow these steps:

### Step 1: Ignore the decimal point
First, we will multiply the numbers as if they are whole numbers. So, we ignore the decimal in 2.8 and consider it as 28.

### Step 2: Multiply the whole numbers
Now, we multiply 28 by 16.
\[ 28 \times 16 \]

### Step 3: Perform the multiplication
To multiply 28 by 16, we can break it down:
- \( 28 \times 16 = 28 \times (10 + 6) \)
- \( = 28 \times 10 + 28 \times 6 \)
- \( = 280 + 168 \)
- \( = 448 \)

### Step 4: Place the decimal point
Now we need to place the decimal point in our answer. Since we initially ignored the decimal point in 2.8, we need to consider how many decimal places we have:
- In 2.8, there is 1 digit after the decimal point.

Therefore, we place the decimal point in 448 such that there is one digit after it:
\[ 448 \rightarrow 44.8 \]

### Final Answer
The product of 2.8 and 16 is:
\[ \boxed{44.8} \]
