Question

Why is 3x1/10 less than 3 x 10 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Because 1/10 is just a tenth of a full 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x 1/10 is less than 3 x 10 because that answer to 3 x 1/10 is 0.3 and 3 x 10 is 30. So you can see that 0.3 is less than 30. It is because 1/10 is just one part of a ten, and if you wanted a whole 1 you would have to do 1/10 x 10 to get a full 1.

Answer 2

Answer::

3 x 10 = 30

3 x 1/10 = 0.3

10 is 10/1 not 1/10 which explains why 3 x 1/10 is less than 3 x 10.
