Question

What is the product of 14.5×100

Answer 1

Explanation:

you don't have a calculator ? with that you would have gotten the answer immediately.

so you had to write the question in here, need to wait for an answer, ...

but actually, this is very easy to solve even without a calculator, as this is how our decimal numbers work : based on powers of 10.

multiplying by 100 moves the decimal point 2 positions to the right (and fill up with zeros where necessary) :

14.5 × 100 = 1450

a multiplication by 10 moves the decimal point 1 position to the right.

a multiplication with 1000 3 positions to the right. and so on.

a division by 100 moves the decimal point 2 positions to the left (and fill up with zeros where necessary). and so on.

Answer 2

1450

Explanation:

Any number times 10 goes up one value.

ones become tens, and tens become hundreds etc..

87x10=870

And a number times 100 goes up two values.

23.5x100= 2350

hope this helped ;)
