Question

67.89 times what equals 6.789

Answer 1

By 10 because if you use a calculator and you do that the decimal moves a tenth place over to the right

Answer 2

67.89 times 0.1 equals 6.789

Explanation:

As you can see from the result, the decimal point went backwards from its original position. When a decimal moves it means that the multiplier is 10 (or 100, 1000, and so on depending on how many places it moved). If the decimal shifts to the left, the 10s would be inverse (ex. 0.1, 0.001)

So from the question, the decimal moved one place to the left. 0.1 would be the multiplier.
