Question

Why Is 3 times 1/10 less than 3 times 10?k

Answer 1

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply 3 * 1/10, 3 goes in the numerator so you get 3/10 which is 0.3

On the other hand 3*10 is 30.

0.3 is less than 30 that's why.

Here's the thing you had one pizza slice (equal to 1/10), and your parents gave you three times more the pizza slice. You will have three slices of pizza (each slice being 1/10) not 30 pizzas.

Hope that makes sense. I can explain again if you need me to!

Answer 2

3 times 1/10 is equal to 3/10, whereas 3 times 10 is equal to 30.

3/ 10 is less than 30.

We can write this as 3 * 1/10 compared to 3 * 10

If we divide both sides by 3, we then compare 1/10 and 10.

1/10 is less than 10, so 3 times 1/10 is less than 3 times 10.

We can rewrite 1/10 = 0.1, so 3 * 0.1 is 0.3 whereas 3 * 10 = 30.
