Question

Why is 3x1/10 less than 3x10 I need help ASAP

A the value of 1 ten is less than the value of 1 tenth
B the value of 1 tenth is less than the value of 3 tenths
C The value of 1 ten is less than the value of 3 tens
D The value of 1 tenth is less than the value of 1 ten

Answer 1

The value of 1 tenth is less than the value of 1 ten

Explanation:

1 tenth = 0.1
1 ten = 10

0.1 is way less than 10 so that is why 3 x 1/10 is less than 3 x 10. Even though the 3 is the same, 1/10 is less than 10 so that is why 3 x 1/10 has less value.
