Verified Answer :

When dividing a number by 10(one zero=one decimal place. This only works with 1, 10 100, 1000,...), you move the decimal over one spot to the left which makes 16.2 ÷10= 1.62. When multiplying by 100, you will move the decimal over to the right two places to make it equal 1.62. Move the decimal over two spots and TA-DA! You should get 0.0162 as your answer.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

0.0162.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be our required number.

We are asked to find the number such that when multiplied by 100 gives us the same result as \(16.2\div 10\).

The product of the number and 100 would be \(100x\).

Since we need the product of \(100x\) equal to \(16.2\div 10\), so we will equate both equations as:

\(100x=16.2\div 10\)

\(100x=\frac{16.2}{10}\)

\(100x=1.62\)

\(\frac{100x}{100}=\frac{1.62}{100}\)

\(x=0.0162\)

Therefore, our required number would be 0.0162.
