Question

find $0.04 \times 10$.
(chart with columns: tens, ones, tenths, hundredths; rows showing 0 . 0 4 and 0 . 4 with ×10 arrow)
complete the equation.
$0.04 \times 10 = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall decimal multiplication by 10

When multiplying a decimal by 10, we move the decimal point one place to the right.
For \(0.04\times10\), we take the decimal number \(0.04\) and move its decimal point one position to the right.

Step2: Perform the operation

Moving the decimal point in \(0.04\) one place to the right gives \(0.4\).
Mathematically, \(0.04\times10=\frac{4}{100}\times10=\frac{4\times10}{100}=\frac{40}{100} = 0.4\).

Answer:

\(0.4\)
