Question

Find the product:
(i) 2.506 × 1000
(ii) 20.708 × 1000
(iii) 0.0529 × 1000
(iv) 1000 × 0.1

Answer 1

i) On dividing by 1000, we get:

$\frac{2506}{1000}\times 1000=2506$

ii) On dividing by 1000, we get:

$\frac{20708}{1000}\times 1000=20708$

iii) On dividing by 10,000, we get:

$\frac{529}{10000}\times 1000=\frac{529}{10}=52.9$

iv) On dividing by 10, we get:

$1000\times \frac{1}{10}=100$
