Suppose both factors in a multiplication problem are multiples of 10. Why might the number of zeroes in the product be different than the total number of zeroes in the factors?

Multiplying factors whose products are multiples of 10 add to the number of zeros when factors are multiplied as multiples of 10s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first five multiples of ten be

10*1= 10

10*2= 20

10*3=30

10*4=40

10*5= 50

Suppose we chose 20 and 50.

Now multiplying 20 with 50 we get

20*50= 1000

IF we count the total number of zeros in the factors ( 20 and 50) they are 2.

But the number of zeros in the product (1000) are 3.

This is because when we multiply 2 with 5 we get 10 which adds to the existing number of zeros ( i.e 2) and we get a total of 3 zeros.

And multiplying 10 with 50 we get

10*50= 500

IF we count the total number of zeros in the factors ( 10 and 50) they are 2.

But the number of zeros in the product (500) are also 2.

This is because when we multiply 1 with 5 we get 5 which does not add to the existing number of zeros ( i.e 2) and the total number of zeros remain the same.

Similarly multiplying 20 with 30 we get

20*30= 600

IF we count the total number of zeros in the factors ( 20 and 30) they are 2.

But the number of zeros in the product (600) are also 2.

This is because when we multiply 2 with 3 we get 6 which does not have a zero and the total  number of zeros remain the same as in the factors.

So we see that multiplying factors whose products are multiples of 10 add to the number of zeros when factors are multiplied as multiples of 10s.

which expression can be used to convert 80 us dollars (usd) to australian dollars (aud)?

1 usd = 1.0343 aud

1 aud = 0.9668 usd

step-by-step explanation:

sorry just need the points

54 km / hours

step-by-step explanation:

we need to convert seconds to hours

60 seconds = 1 minutes

60 minutes = 1hour

15 m         60 second   60 minutes

  * *         = 54000 meters/ hour

second     1 minute             1 hour

now we need to convert meters to km

1000 m = 1 km

54000 m       1 km

*   = 54 km / hours

hour               1000m
