Question

• A. Decreases by 10 times
• B. Decreases by $\frac{1}{10}$ times
• C. Increases by $\frac{1}{10}$ times
• D. Increases by 10 times

Answer 1

The correct option is D Increases by 10 times


The place value of a digit increase by 10 as it moves from the right to left in a place value chart. The whole number part is written in terms of 1, 10, 100, and so on. The decimal part is written in terms of $\frac{1}{10}$, $\frac{1}{100}$, $\frac{1}{1000}$ and so on.
