Sample GL Progress Test practice questions

GL Progress Practice Test Question: 12.04 × 100 =?

A 12.0400

B 0.1204

C 120.4

D 1204

Answer Explanations

A 12.0400: Sorry, that’s not correct.

It looks as if you have just added two zeros to the number. Your answer, 12.0400, has exactly the same value as 12.04, so ‘adding zeros’ will not work for numbers with decimals.

When multiplying by 100, each digit becomes 100 times larger.
Use a place value grid to move each digit 2 places to the left.
The correct answer is 1204

B 0.1204: Sorry, that’s not correct.

It seems that you have divided instead of multiplying. Check the operation.

12.04 × 100 = 1204

C 120.4: Sorry, that’s not correct.

It seems that you have multiplied by 10 not 100. Always check the question.

12.04 × 100 = 1204

D 1204: Well done, that’s correct.

Each digit becomes 100 times larger so moves 2 columns to the left in a place value grid.
