Answer:


\huge{\boxed{\text{A) move the decimal point one place to the right}}}}

Explanation:

Think about the following scenarios

4.00 * 10

529.00 * 10

4 * 10 = 40 (4.00 * 10 = 40.0)

529 * 10 = 5290 (5290.00 * 10 = 5290.0)

As you can see, the decimal point is moving one space to the right when multiplying by ten.

In the decimal system, moving the decimal point one place to the right multiplies by ten, while moving the decimal point one place to the left multiplies by 1/10.

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.
