Question

Multiply each of the following numbers 7.32, and 0.006 by 10, 100, and 1,000. Then explain the pattern you can use to find the products. *

Your answer

Answer 1

7.32

10 = 73.2

100 = 732

1000 = 7320

0.006

10 = 0.06

100 = 0.6

1000 = 6

The decimal place moves to the right depending on how many zeros the number has.

For example, if you had 0.6 multiplied by 100, you would move 2 decimal places to the right because 100 has two zeros.
