Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When multiplying by a decimal less than 1, the product will be a smaller number than the original. In this case, 9.3 times 0.01 equals 0.093. Therefore, the answer is D) 0.093. To multiply a decimal by a decimal, we first multiply like normal and then count the total number of decimal places in both the numbers and put that many decimal places in the answer. In this case, 9.3 has one decimal place and 0.01 has two decimal places, making a total of three decimal places in both numbers combined. So we multiply 93 (ignoring the decimal places) and then put the decimal point three places from the right, giving us the answer of 0.093. Therefore, the best choice is D.
