10/1000 = 1/100 because you can take a 0 off the end of both numbers in simplifying the fraction

That's the way our decimal system works. Once you get ten units in one column, it carries over to the one next to it.

Ten tens = One hundred

Ten ones = One ten

Ten tenths = One one

Ten hundredths = One tenth

Ten thousandths = One hundredth
