This is a result of the rules of significant figures. These are the digits of the numbers that matter. For operations involving multiplication, the product should have the same significant numbers with the least significant numbers of the given data. In this case, that would be 0.4. Since 0.4 has one significant figure, then the product should be reported with one significant number. That should be 0.1.
