Question

If the decimal point in a number is shifted one place to the left, the number becomes of the original number.

• A. Twice
• B. Ten times
• C. $\frac{1}{10}$
• D. $\frac{1}{100}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{10}$

When we shift the decimal to the left of a number, the value becomes $\frac{1}{10}$ of the original number.

Example: $89.5\times \frac{1}{10}=8.95$
Here, 89.5 changes to 8.95
