Answer and Explanation:

Given : Expressions
(247)/(10^2) and
247* 10^2

To find : Solve the expressions and what is different about the two answers?

Solution :

First we simplify the expression,


(247)/(10^2)=(247)/(100)=2.47


247* 10^2=247* 100=24700

The difference about the two answers is one is in decimal form and other in whole number.

Both have different place value system.

Digits shifting is due to the multiplication and division of
10^2

As if it is in denominator it divides and add decimal.

If it is in numerator it multiplies and add zero.
