Question

Madison says that 579.8 x 0.001 is the same as 579.8 : 10? Is she correct? Explain your answer in 3-5 sentences

Answer 1

Step 1:

First, write the expression for each value

$\begin{gathered} 579.8\text{ }\times\text{ 0.001 = 0.5798} \\ \\ 579.8\text{ }\times\text{ 10 = 5798} \end{gathered}$

Final answer

The two are not the same because the value of 579.8 x 0.001 is less than the value of 579.8 x 10.
