find the product.
0.75 × 100,000 = ?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the rule of multiplying by powers of 10

When multiplying a decimal by \(10^n\) (where \(n\) is a positive integer), we move the decimal point \(n\) places to the right. Here, \(100,000 = 10^5\), so we move the decimal point in \(0.75\) five places to the right.

Step2: Move the decimal point

Starting with \(0.75\), moving the decimal point five places to the right: \(0.75\times100000 = 75000\)

Answer:

\(75000\)
