The same way as you multiply any number! you just have to remember you're in hex. If you can get your mind to work in base 16 then the questions will look a lot simpler...
But, a slightly long winded but foolproof way would be to convert the numbers you want to multiply into decimal, perform the multiplication, and then convert the answer back into hex. The website below has a converter

The most straightforward way would be to convert back to decimal numbers, perform your calculation, then convert to the system in question. Otherwise, some calculators will do this for you without needing to covert (although the calculator is coverting behind the scenes) *or* you can create some addition/multiplication charts for yourself like you did when you were first learning to multiply decimal numbers. For example, your hex chart would show you that 9*C = 6C, so you would write down the C and carry the 6.

Use your calculator set up as a scientific, and set it to hex mode. Perform the multiplication as you normally would.
