Examples with solutions for All Operations in Decimal Fractions: Multiplication by 100

Exercise #1

0.314×100= 0.314\times100=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll focus on the rule for multiplying decimal fractions by powers of 10:

  • Move the decimal point to the right for each power of ten involved in the multiplication.

  • For 100 100 , we move the decimal point two places to the right.

Let's apply this to our problem:

The given number is 0.314 0.314 .

Step 1: Identify the number of decimal places in 0.314 0.314 , which is 3 digits long: "314".

Step 2: Multiplying 0.314 0.314 by 100 100 requires us to move the decimal point two places to the right.

Before moving the decimal point:

0.314 0.314

Move the decimal point two places right:

3.14 3.14

Effectively, the number becomes 31.4 31.4 .

Hence, the result of 0.314×100=31.4 0.314 \times 100 = 31.4 .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 31.4 31.4 .

The correct answer choice from the options is:

31.4 31.4

Answer

31.4 31.4

Exercise #2

11.41×100= 11.41\times100=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of finding 11.41×100 11.41 \times 100 , we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Understand the operation needed - multiplying by 100 involves moving the decimal point two places to the right.
  • Step 2: Identify the initial position of the decimal point in the number 11.41. Initially, it is between 11 and 41.
  • Step 3: Move the decimal two places to the right. This results in the number shifting from 11.41 to 1141.0.
  • Step 4: Simplify by removing the unnecessary decimal zero, resulting in the final value of 1141.

Therefore, the solution to the problem 11.41×100 11.41 \times 100 is 1141 1141 .

Answer

1141 1141

Exercise #3

3.412×100= 3.412\times100=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the original position of the decimal point in 3.412.
  • Step 2: Shift the decimal point two places to the right because we are multiplying by 100.
  • Step 3: Write down the new number after shifting the decimal point.

Now, let's perform the solution:
Step 1: In the number 3.412, the decimal point is initially between the 3 and the 4.
Step 2: We shift this decimal point two places to the right, which changes the value to 341.2.
Step 3: The resulting number after this operation is 341.2.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 341.2 341.2 .

Answer

341.2 341.2
