Question

If you start with the number 3.0 and move the decimal point one unit to the left, you wind up with 0.30. If you move the decimal point a total of four units to the left, the result is the same as that of dividing the original number by _________.

Answer 1

Answer:

10000    

Explanation:

When the decimal point shifts towards left, for each shift, the number is actually divided by 10.

When the decimal point shifts towards right, for each shift, the number is actually multiplied by 10.

when decimal point is shifted by total four units towards left, it is 0.0003 It is same as that dividing 3.0 by 10000

$\Rightarrow \frac{3.0}{10000} = 0.0003$
