Question

Jerry has been learning to multiply decimals by Integers.

When you multiply an Integer
by 0.01, it's the same as
dividing it by 100.
Is he correct? Prove your answer with examples!​

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Multiplying an integer by 0.01 is the same as Dividing such as :

0.01 = 10^-2

100= 10

For instance :

A number, n = 5 is multiplied by 10^-2

5 * 0.01 = 0.05

Thus, divide the number, n by 100;

5 / 100 = 0.05

Hence, the proof.
