Question

find $0.04 \times 10$.
do you need to write a zero in the ones place of the produ
options: yes, no, maybe

Explanation:

Step1: Recall decimal multiplication rule

When multiplying a decimal by 10, we move the decimal point one place to the right. For \(0.04\times10\), moving the decimal in \(0.04\) one place right gives \(0.4\).

Step2: Analyze place values in \(0.4\)

The number \(0.4\) has 0 in the ones place (since there's no whole number part other than 0) and 4 in the tenths place. So, the ones place of the product (\(0.4\)) is 0, and we do need to write that zero in the ones place to represent the place value correctly (even though it's a leading zero for the whole number part, it's part of the place - value structure here).

Answer:

yes
