Question

Yen said he can find 520 ÷ 10 by taking the 0 off of 520 to get 52. Yen finds 23.160 ÷ 10 using the same method and gets 23.16. Use the drop-down menus to complete the statement about why Yen is correct or incorrect.

Answer 1

He is incorrect

Explanation:

He is incorrect because, he needs to divide it by 10 which is also moving one decimal place to the left, however, Yen did not do it the right way. The right answer is 2.316.

Answer 2

he is incorrect
when dividing by ten, move the decimal 1 number to the right
he was sort of correct on the first part, but in the second part, the zero would automatically be removed, due to the fact that it comes after the decimal.
the correct answer for the second part is 2.316

hope this helps
