Answer 1

The incorrect work sample that is most similar to the preceding work is option c. 46.13 X 10 = 460.130. The correct conversion should be 461.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct work sample that is most similar to the preceding work is option c. 46.13 X 10 = 460.130.

In this sample, the student incorrectly moved the decimal point two places to the right to convert 46.13 into 460.130. The correct conversion should be 461.3 since 46.13 multiplied by 10 gives 461.3.
