Answer:

They are both correct

Step-by-step explanation:

It's interpretation of the concept. In common practice multiplying by 10 means you add a zero and that's what we teach 10 year olds. But what does adding a zero mean? It means adding a place value and that's what you learn when you are

So in both examples just add a decimal:

2.0 x 10 = 20.

0.2 x 10 = 2.0

In conclusion, it depends on the level of precision required in the discussion and the level of maturity as to who is correct in their examples. If you are teaching 3rd graders math, by all means you add a zero. If you are discussing physics you are shifting over a place value.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Cost to a rent a snorkel=\$ 12                ,           Cost on 10 rent  snorkel =\$ 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Tourist spend on rent snorkel and fin=\$ 168

10 snorkel and 12 pairs of fin

Let the cost to  rent a snorkel be =\$x

and cost of a pair of fin is =\$y

x=3y            (given condition)

10x+12y=168

10\times 3y+12y=168

30y+12y=168

42y=168

y=168/42

y=4

Cost of a pair of fin=  y=\$ 4

x=3y

x=3\times 4

x=12

Cost of rent a snorkel=\$ 12

Total cost of a rent snorkel

=10\times 12

   =\$ 168
