Question

now, write the product as a decimal. 143 × 0.01 = 143 hundredths = \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the meaning of hundredths

One hundredth is $0.01$, so 143 hundredths means $143\times0.01$.

Step2: Calculate the product

We know that multiplying a number by $0.01$ is equivalent to dividing the number by 100 (since $0.01=\frac{1}{100}$). So, $143\div100 = 1.43$.

Answer:

$1.43$
