Multiplying Decimal Numbers by Powers of Ten • What is a power of ten? • Powers of ten are numbers we get by multiplying tens by 10 (i.e. 1 x 10 = 10, 10 x 10 = 100, 100 x 10 = 1000, 1000 x 10 = 10 000) • When you multiply decimal numbers by powers of ten, it is very important that you know your place values!!!
Multiplying Decimals by 10 This is the number we started with...
Multiplying Decimals by 10 • So as you can see, 9537.24 x 10 = 95 372.40***Moving the digits one place to the LEFTlooks the same as moving the decimal point one place to the RIGHT.
Multiplying Decimals by 100 This is the number we started with... Notice, that I have put zeroes in the decimal places that I’ve moved numbers out of...remember, zeroes after the decimal don’t really count, but we’ll need them (in this case) when we multiply by powers of 10 larger than 100.
Multiplying Decimals by 100 • So as you can see, 9537.24 x 100 = 953 724.00***Moving the digits two places to the LEFTlooks the same as moving the decimal point two places to the RIGHT.
Multiplying Decimals by 1000 • So as you can see, 9537.24 x 1000 = 9 537 240.00***Moving the digits three places to the LEFTlooks the same as moving the decimal point three places to the RIGHT.
Multiplying Decimals by 10 000 • So as you can see, 9537.24 x 10 000 = 95 372 400.00***Moving the digits four places to the LEFTlooks the same as moving the decimal point four places to the RIGHT.
