Question

Multiplying by Powers of 10

Factor A - 1.7 x Factor greater than 1 - 10 = Product greater than factor A - _

- 0.58 x 1 = _
- 0.58 x 10 = _
- 0.58 x 100 = 58
- 0.58 x 1000 = _

Notice that the shifting of the digits to the left results in the decimal point being to the right of where it previously was before.

Answer 1

Fill in the blanks
Factor A - 1.7 x Factor greater than 1 - 10 = Product greater than factor A - _

Answer 2

Let's complete the calculations step by step:

1. **0.58 x 1 =** 0.58
(Multiplying by 1 does not change the value.)

2. **0.58 x 10 =** 5.8
(When you multiply by 10, you shift the decimal point one place to the right.)

3. **0.58 x 100 =** 58
(When you multiply by 100, you shift the decimal point two places to the right.)

4. **0.58 x 1000 =** 580
(When you multiply by 1000, you shift the decimal point three places to the right.)

So, the complete list is:

- **0.58 x 1 = 0.58**
- **0.58 x 10 = 5.8**
- **0.58 x 100 = 58**
- **0.58 x 1000 = 580**

This illustrates how multiplying by powers of ten shifts the decimal point to the right, resulting in larger values.

Answer 3

To fill in the blanks in your statement, we can break it down as follows:

1. **Factor A** is **1.7**.
2. **Factor greater than 1** is **10**.
3. When you multiply **1.7** by **10**, you get **17**.

So, to complete the statement:

**Factor A - 1.7 x Factor greater than 1 - 10 = Product greater than factor A - 17**.

The completed sentence would read:

**Factor A - 1.7 x Factor greater than 1 - 10 = Product greater than factor A - 17**.
