Answer 1

Answer:

To multiply a number by 0.01 move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

for example, lets multiply 5 by 0.01

5 x 0.01=0.05

originally, 5 in decimal form is 5.0

when it is multiplied by 0.01, the decimal point moves first from 5.0 to 0.5, then 0.5 to 0.05
