Question

A whole number has a 6 in the hundreds place, and all of
its other digits are zero. If the 6 is moved from the
hundreds place to the tens place and all other digits remain
as zeros, which statement is true?
The new number is 10 times the original number.
The original number is 10 times the new number.
The new number is 100 times the original number.
The original number is 100 times the new number.

Answer 1

Answer:well if you move it to the tens place when it was in the hundreds you have divided it by 10 to get to the new number so in theory it's not the new number that's 100 times the original, but the correct answer will be : The Original number is 10 times the new number.

Step-by-step explanation:

10x10= 100

Move the 1 -> This way you get 10

We can say 100 is 10x the original being 100

Just like 600 to 60

It's 10times the original .

Answer 2

A whole number has a 6 in the hundreds place, and all of

its other digits are zero. This means that the number can be

0600,

00600,

000600

0000600

The list goes on.

If the 6 is moved from the

hundreds place to the tens place and all other digits remain, the new number can be

0060,

00060,

000060

0000060

This means that the original number is 10 times the new number. This is because the original number / the new number = 600 / 60 = 10
