Question

What number do you need to multiply by 100 to get the same result as 16.2÷10 explain

Answer 1

When dividing a number by 10(one zero=one decimal place. This only works with 1, 10 100, 1000,...), you move the decimal over one spot to the left which makes 16.2 ÷10= 1.62. When multiplying by 100, you will move the decimal over to the right two places to make it equal 1.62. Move the decimal over two spots and TA-DA! You should get 0.0162 as your answer. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

0.0162.

Explanation:

Let x be our required number.

We are asked to find the number such that when multiplied by 100 gives us the same result as
`16.2/ 10`.

The product of the number and 100 would be
`100x`.

Since we need the product of
`100x` equal to
`16.2/ 10`, so we will equate both equations as:

`100x=16.2/ 10`

`100x=(16.2)/(10)`

`100x=1.62`

`(100x)/(100)=(1.62)/(100)`

`x=0.0162`

Therefore, our required number would be 0.0162.
