Question

When we shift the decimal point to the right of a number, what happens to the value of the number?

• A. Does not change.
• B. Becomes twice the original number.
• C. Becomes 10 times the original number.
• D. Becomes 100 times the original number.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Becomes 10 times the original number.

As we move the decimal to the right of a number, then its value increases to 10 times the original number.

For example:
Let's take a number = 50.5
Moving the decimal point one place to the right will make it 505, which is ten times the original number.
