Question

I need help understanding this!

Answer 1

The basic idea is that multiplying by 10 just moves the decimal point one place to the right. It makes the number bigger.

4.8 x 10 = 48

4.8 x 10 x 10 = 48 x 10 = 480

Each time you multiply by another 10, the decimal point moves one more time.

The expression
`10^5` says you're going to multiply by 10 five times in a row. So that will move the decimal point 5 places to the right.

So what do you get if you move the decimal in 4.8 five places to the right?

Answer 2

480,000

Explanation:

Move the decimal point to the right 5 units:)
