> When a decimal division is the first operation, the quotient cannot be multiplied in a subsequent calculation. Instead, a NULL is returned. 
> The following yield NULL results:
> select (cast (4.53 as decimal) / cast(25.86 as decimal)) * cast(0.087 as decimal) from <tablename> limit 1;
> select cast (4.53 as decimal) / cast(25.86 as decimal) * cast(0.087 as decimal) from <tablename> limit 1;
> If we move the multiplication operation to be first, then it will successfully calculate the result.
