When a whole number is multiplied by 10^1, the product is _________.

Question

A.
that number with one zero added to the end
B.
that number with one zero subtracted from the end
C.
that number with two zeros added to the end
D.
that number with two zeros subtracted from the end

Answer 1

When a whole number is multiplied by \(10^1\), the product is A. that number with one zero added to the end.

For example, if you take the whole number 5 and multiply it by \(10^1 = 10\), you get \(5 \times 10 = 50\), which is indeed the number 5 with one zero added to the end.
