Question

.04 is 1/10 of what number

Answer 1

.4. To multiply by ten, you move the decimal to the right one place

Answer 2

0.4

Explanation:

Let x be 1/10 of 0.04.

1/10 of x would be
`(1)/(10)x`.

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

`(1)/(10)x=0.04`

Let us solve for x.

`10*(1)/(10)x=10*0.04`

`x=0.4`

Therefore, 0.04 is 1/10 of 0.4.
