Question

When multiplying by 10 how many spaces do you move the decimal point

Answer 1

If you multiply a decimal by 10, the decimal point will move one place to the right. If you divide a decimal by 10, the decimal point will move one place to the left.

Explanation:

Multiplying a decimal by 10 increases the value of each digit by 10. Multiplying a decimal by a power of 10 increases the value of each digit by a number of times that is equivalent to that power of 10. When a digit's value is changed, that digit is moved to the appropriate place.
