Question

Multiply 5.5395 by factors of 10, 100, and 1000.

Answer 1

Answer:

I) 55.395

ii) 553.95

iii) 5539.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we multiply 5.5395 by 10, the decimal point moves forward once

$5.5395 \times 10 = 5.5395 \times {10}^{1} = 55.395$

If we multiply by 100, the decimal point moves forward 2 times.

$5.5395 \times 100 = 5.5395 \times {10}^{2} = 553.95$

If we multiply 5.5395 by 1000, the decimal point moves forward three times.

$5.5395 \times 1000 = 5.5395 \times {10}^{3} = 5539.5$
