37 times 2 is 74.
3.7 contains one decimal
.02 contains two decimals
1 + 2 = 3.
Move the decimal of 74 three places to the left
(3.7)(.02) = .074

This isn't algebra; it's more pre-algebra, if anything. (No variables)
However, the best approach is to first multiply them while ignoring the decimal points:
37 * 2 = 74
Now, count up the number of digits in the original to the right of the decimal point. I count 3 (.7 and .02).
This is the number of places to the right of the decimal point you need in your answer. Thus:
0.074

(3.7)(0.02) = 0.074
This is actually simple arithmetic.
