Question

what are the steps to figure out what 10 times as much as 0.08

Answer 1

This is an example only to be used with numbers starting with 1. You look at how many zeros are in the number. However many that may be, that is how many times you move your number to the left.

Answer 2

Process:

Multiply 10 and 0.08

0.08
x 10
---------

Since it's 10, you can use this simple trick:

Move the decimal or . to the right once

Which would leave you with 00.8

Since 0 is irrelevant, you can get rid of the zero in the 10s place.

Answer: 0.8 or 0.80
