Question

find the product.
16 × 0.1 = ?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall decimal multiplication rule

Multiplying a number by \(0.1\) is equivalent to dividing the number by \(10\), which means moving the decimal point one place to the left.

Step2: Apply the rule to 16

For \(16\times0.1\), we move the decimal point in \(16\) (which is \(16.0\)) one place to the left. So \(16\times0.1 = 1.6\).

Answer:

\(1.6\)
