Question: 570

14. The product of 0.34 and 1,000 is approximately

  • A. 3.50
  • B. 35
  • C. 65
  • D. 350

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

When multiplying by a factor of 10, simply move the decimal point to the right for each zero. In this case, you are multiplying by 1,000, so move the decimal point to the right three places for the three zeros in 1,000. The decimal 0.34 becomes 340, which is closest to 350. The correct answer is (D).
