It is not. For positive powers of ten, the decimal point moves to the right when multiplying and to the left when dividing. For negative powers of ten the point moves in the opposite directions.
How do you use a pattern to find the product of a power of 10 and a decimal?
If the power of ten is k, where k is an integer thenif k < 0 then the decimal point moves k places to the left;if k = 0 then the decimal point does not move; andif k > 0 then the decimal point moves k places to the right.

What happened to the decimal point in the 2.00 when you multiplied it by 10?
when you multiply by 10, the decimal "moves" over. the way there are digits like in the number 369 (the 3 is the hundreds place, 6 is tens...) there are decimal places. so if you multiply 2.00 by 10 it becomes 20-the decimal moves (20.00) after the 0. 2.00 is the same as 2, so you just do 2 times 10 anyway.
