It gets bigger. Quickly. Also, if it was an integer, then it will eventually end in a 5, followed by a bunch of 0's. There will be as many 0's as there were powers of 2 dividing the original number.

When you multiply any number by ten what happens to the decimal point?
Move the decimal point to the right one time.
If you multiply a decimal number and a whole number will you have a decimal in the answer?
Often, yes. But it depends on the numbers. For example, if you multiply 1.5 x 2, you get 3 as the answer (whole number). But if you multiply 1.5 x 3, you get a decimal of 4.5
If you multiply a decimal number and a whole number what happens to the decimal point?
if the answer is a three digit answer then make sure there is two numbers on the left and one on the right of the decimal pointthe decimal point will remain in the answer given eg 2.2 * 8 = 17.6
What happens to a number when you multiply it by a fraction?
Fraction refers to the amount to the right of the decimal point (amounts of less than 1), so if you multiply any (positive) number by a fraction its value will be reduced.
How do you double a decimal number?

How do you write a program to find number of zeros for the given number in c program?
Assuming the number is represented by a decimal integer, initialise a counter to zero, then repeatedly divide the number by 10 and until the number is zero. After each division, examine the remainder. Each time the remainder is zero, increment the counter. If the number is represented by a decimal float, repeatedly multiply by 10 until the value is an integer, then perform the previous algorithm.
Do you multiply 2.9 percent x 100 to get the decimal?
whenever you multiply a whole number by a decimal you get a decimal. 2.9x100=290
What happens to a number when you multiply it by a fraction?
Fraction refers to the amount to the right of the decimal point (amounts of less than 1), so if you multiply any (positive) number by a fraction its value will be reduced.
How many places do you have to move the decimal point to multiply a decimal number by 1000?
Three. Count number of zeros. If multiply decimal by 100 move decimal point 2 places, etc.
How do you double a decimal number?

When you multiply a decimal by a whole number the number places in the product is the same as the number of decimal places in the decimal factor true or false?
True
How dividing by decimal is different from dividing by whole number and how it is similar?
Dividing by decimal is different from dividing by whole number as you have to multiply by a number to remove the decimal.
