Question

Fill in the blank:


$\text{Amount of cereal eaten by Carl in 1 day = 95 grains}$
$\text{Amount of cereal eaten by Carl in 10 days = \_\_\_}$

• A. 95 grains
• B. 9,500 grains
• C. 950 grains
• D. 9.5 grains

Answer 1

The correct option is C 950 grains

Carl eats 95 grains of cereal in a day.

∴The amount of cereal eaten by Carl in 10 days is:
$95\times 10\text{grains}$

To multiply a number with 10, add 1 zero to the left of the digits of the number.

So, we see:


Amount of cereal eaten by Carl = 950 grains
