Question

0.048 × 10 = 0.48
0.48 × 10 = 4.8
4.8 × 10 = 48
(chart with place values: reds, tens, ones, tenths, hundredths...)
complete the equation.
0.048 ×? = 48 (dropdown with 100, 1,000, 10,000)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for finding the multiplier

We know that if \(a\times b = c\), then \(b=\frac{c}{a}\). Here, \(a = 0.048\) and \(c = 48\), so we need to find \(b=\frac{48}{0.048}\).

Step2: Simplify the division

\(\frac{48}{0.048}=\frac{48\times1000}{0.048\times1000}=\frac{48000}{48}\)

Step3: Perform the division

\(\frac{48000}{48} = 1000\)

Answer:

1000
