Question

leo knows that each time a digit moves one place to the left in a whole number the value of the digit is 10 times as much. describe an example you would show to leo to demonstrate that this is true for decimal numbers also.

Answer 1

Answer:

Leo is true for any numbers (including decimal numbers)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- In number 256

# 6 is the unit digit (one digit)

# 5 is the ten digit (10 digit)

# 2 is the hundred digit (100 digit)

- If we change the number to 2563

# 6 digit is moved 1 place to the left now its place changed from unit

  digit to ten digit (from 1 to 10) that means 6 in the second number

  is 10 times the 6 in the first number

# 5 digit is moved 1 place to the left now its place changed from ten

  digit to hundred digit (from 10 to 100) that means 5 in the second

  number is 10 times the 5 in the first number

# 2 digit is moved 1 place to the left now its place changed from  

  hundred digit to thousand digit (from 100 to 1000) that means 2

  in the second number is 10 times the 2 in the first number

- In number 2.345

# 2 is the unit digit (one digit)

# 3 is the tenth digit (1/10 digit)

# 4 is the hundredth digit (1/100 digit)

# 5 is the thousandth digit (1/1000 digit)

- If we change the number to 23.45

# 3 digit is moved 1 place to the left now its place changed from tenth

  digit to unit digit (from 1/10 to 1) that means 3 in the second number

  is 10 times the 3 in the first number

# 4 digit is moved 1 place to the left now its place changed from  

  hundredth digit to tenth digit (from 1/100 to 1/10) that means 4 in the

  second number is 10 times the 5 in the first number

# 5 digit is moved 1 place to the left now its place changed from  

  thousandth digit to hundredth digit (from 1/1000 to 1/100) that means

  5 in the second number is 10 times the 5 in the first number

∴ Leo is true for any numbers (including decimal numbers)
