Question

Select the statements that are true about the values 0.026 and 2.60.

Answer 1

• A. 0.026 is 1/100 of 2.60
• D. 0.026 is 100 times less than 2.60

Explanation:

To check option A:

Divide 2.60 by 0.026

= 2.60 / 0.026

= 100

This proves that 0.026 is a 1/100 of 2.60 which means that option A is correct.

If option A is correct, then option B must be wrong.

For option C to be correct, the following formula must be the case:

0.026 * 10 = 2.60

But:

0.026 * 10 = 0.26 not 2.6

Option C is therefore incorrect.

Option D

0.026 * 100 = 2.60

The formula above indeed is correct so Option D is correct as well.

Option E cannot be correct as those are the same figures.
