Multiplying a real number by a positive power of ten moves the decimal point that number (the exponent) of places to the right. Multiplying by a negative power of ten moves it to the left. For example, the -3 power of 10 is 1/1000; multiplying by that moves the decimal point 3 places to the left.
Three. Count number of zeros. If multiply decimal by 100 move decimal point 2 places, etc.
To calculate 2.54 multiplied by 5, you simply multiply the two numbers together. 2.54 multiplied by 5 equals 12.7. This is because when you multiply a decimal number by a whole number, you multiply the decimal number by the whole number and then adjust the decimal point in the result accordingly.
If you multiply a number by 100%, you are simply multiplying by 1. You can multiply by 100% to change a decimal number or fraction to a percent. (0.25)(100%)=25%. You can also divide by 100% to change a percent to a decimal number. 65%/100%= 65/100 or 0.65.
To express .20 as a whole number, you would multiply it by 100 to shift the decimal two places to the right. This would give you 20 as a whole number. Converting a decimal to a whole number involves removing the decimal point by multiplying the decimal by the appropriate power of 10.
One to one
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
whenever you multiply a whole number by a decimal you get a decimal. 2.9x100=290
Three. Count number of zeros. If multiply decimal by 100 move decimal point 2 places, etc.
you multiply by 2
You usually get another number!
True
Dividing by decimal is different from dividing by whole number as you have to multiply by a number to remove the decimal.
When multiplying a whole number by a decimal with two places, ignore the decimal point and multiply as if you were multiplying two whole numbers. After you get the answer, re-insert the decimal point so that the product has two decimal places.
The answer depends on what the decimal is.For example, 4 * 3.5 = 14But 4 * 3.6 = 14.4
This is not necessarily true. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
When multiplying a whole number by a decimal with two places, ignore the decimal point and multiply as if you were multiplying two whole numbers. After you get the answer, re-insert the decimal point so that the product has two decimal places.
False. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
