To multiply decimals, we first ignore the decimal points and multiply as usual. In this case, we get $347	imes 18 = 6256$. Next, we count the total number of decimal places in the factors being multiplied (2 in this case) and place the same number of decimal places in the answer, starting from the right. So, $34.7	imes 1.8 = 62.46$. Therefore, the correct choice is C.
