What is the product of 6.25 multiplied by 100,000?

625,000
6,250,000
625
62,500

The correct answer is: 625,000

To find the product of 6.25 multiplied by 100,000, you can think of it as moving the decimal point in 6.25 to the right. Each multiplication by 10 moves the decimal one place to the right. Starting with 6.25: - If you multiply by 10, it becomes 62.5. - If you multiply by 10 again (now multiplying by 100), it becomes 625. - Continuing, multiplying by 10 a third time (now 1,000), it becomes 6,250. - If you multiply by 10 a fourth time (now 10,000), it becomes 62,500. - Finally, multiplying by 10 a fifth time (now 100,000), it results in 625,000. Therefore, the product of 6.25 and 100,000 equals 625,000.
