Can Someone Please Give me a few examples on how to multiply and divide Decimals. Thanks

You mean by hand? Like if you were to multiply 23.4 × 5.43, you multiply 234 × 543, then see that your answer needs as many decimal digits as the question, so in this example 3. 234 × 543 = 127062, so 23.4 × 5.43 = 127.062.

For division of decimals, you can multiply both numbers by ten a number of times until the decimal point goes away. e.g. For 123.45 ÷ 5.632, you can move the decimal point of both numbers three places to the right (by multiplying both by 1000), and divide 123450 by 5632. It will have the same answer as the original division of decimals.
