Question

Multiplying a number by which of the following would result in a smaller number?

O 100
O 101
O 102
10-1

Answer 1

10/\-1 is correct

Explanation:

Answer 2

10^(-1)

Explanation:

Recall that a value that is multiplied by a number that is between 0 and 1 will result in a number that is smaller than the original number.

the first 3 are all greater than 1, hence will result in a greater value if when multiplied with another number.

The last one is 10^(-1) = 0.1

Anything multiplied by 0.1 will result in a value that is 1/10th of the original value.

Hence this is the answer.
