0.1 AND 0.

01 SOLUTIONS

TASK 1 Multiplying

a 640 × 0.01 = 640 ÷ 100 b 83.4 × 0.01 = 83.4 ÷ 100

= 6.4 = 0.834

c 73 × 0.1 = 73 ÷ 10 d 0.95 × 0.1 = 0.95 ÷ 10

= 7.3 = 0.095

e 534 × 0.1 = 534 ÷ 10 f 53.7 × 0.01 = 53.7 ÷ 100

= 53.4 = 0.537

TASK 2 Dividing

a 370 ÷ 0.01 = 370 × 100 b 83.4 ÷ 0.01 = 83.4 × 100

= 37 000 = 8340

c 73 ÷ 0.1 = 73 × 10 d 0.95 ÷ 0.1 = 0.95 × 10

= 730 = 9.5

e 0.4 ÷ 0.1 = 0.4 × 10 f 53.7 ÷ 0.01 = 53.7 × 100

=4 = 5370

TASK 3 Extending the pattern

a Multiplication
8740 × 0.1 = 8740 ÷ 10 = 874
8740 × 0.01 = 8740 ÷ 100 = 87.4
8740 × 0.001 = 8740 ÷ 1000 = 8.74
8740 × 0.0001 = 8740 ÷ 10 000 = 0.874
8740 × 0.000 01 = 8740 ÷ 100 000 = 0.0874

b Division
0.0285 ÷ 0.1 = 0.0285 × 10 = 0.285
0.0285 ÷ 0.01 = 0.0285 × 100 = 2.85
0.0285 ÷ 0.001 = 0.0285 × 1000 = 28.5
0.0285 ÷ 0.0001 = 0.0285 × 10 000 = 285
0.0285 ÷ 0.000 01 = 0.0285 × 100 000 = 2850
