Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• 1,304,000
• 6

Explanation:

You may recall that when you learned multiplication of decimals, there were two facts involved:

• the total number of decimal digits when two decimal numbers are multiplied is the sum of the numbers of decimal digits in each one
• multiplying by 10 adds a zero on the right. (Multiplying by 10^n adds n zeros on the right.)

Here, we combine these facts.

Multiplying the decimal number 1.304 by 1000000 will add 6 zeros to the right of 1304 to make it 1304000000. Placing the decimal point in this product so there are 3 decimal digits (as there are in 1.304) makes this number be ...

1,304,000.000 . . . . . . product of 1.304 and 1,000,000

You will notice the decimal point in 1.304 has effectively moved 6 places to the right.
