Lesson 5

Decimal Points in Products

Problem 1

  1. Find the product of each number and \(\frac{1}{100}\).

    122.1

    11.8

    1350.1

    1.704

  2. What happens to the decimal point of the original number when you multiply it by \(\frac{1}{100}\)? Why do you think that is? Explain your reasoning.

A:

\(6 \boldcdot \frac{1}{100} \boldcdot 154 \boldcdot \frac{1}{1,000}\)

B:

\(6 \boldsymbol  \boldcdot 154 \boldcdot \frac{1}{100,000}\)

C:

\(6 \boldcdot (0.1) \boldcdot 154 \boldcdot (0.01)\)

D:

\(6 \boldsymbol  \boldcdot 154 \boldcdot (0.00001)\)

E:

0.00924
