Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright,I know this question looks scary and confusing but let's break it down into smaller pieces and see what we are working with!
Let's understand first:
Hundreds place: 100
Hundredths place: 0.01
One is 2 0's before the decimal point (100) and the other is 2 decimal places AFTER the decimal point (0.01)
Essentially, the question is asking us how many times do we multiply 0.01 to get 100? This will be how many times greater 100 is compared to 0.01
Lets move the decimal point 4 times to the right:
0.01
00.1
1.0
10.0
100.0
There we go!
Remember, each time we move the decimal point to the right, we are multiplying by 10 (greater number) and if we move it to the left, we are dividing by 10 (smaller number).
We went from 0.01 to 100, how many times did we multiply by 10?
4 times, this means that 100 is 1,000 times bigger than 0.01
We did it!
