Question

Marcel said he can find 52 × 10 by adding a 0 to the end of 52 to get 520.

Marcel finds 74.26 × 10 using the same method and gets 74.260.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statement about why Marcel is correct or incorrect.

Answer 1

The answer is 742.6 guy above me got it before me

Answer 2

The answer is 742.6

Explanation:

What Marcel said is that if you multiply a number times 10 it is only necessary to add a zero at the end. However, with the number 74.26, it is necessary to move the dot instead of adding a zero due to this, the correct answer is 742.6 and not 74.260, which is the same as the original value (74.2.)
