How is 47.3 divided by 1 tenth equal to the product of 47.3 times 10?

Misunderstood. One tenth is 0.1. If you divide by it you multiply by 10. If you want one tenth of something, you multiply that something by one tenth, that is by 0.1. One tenth of 47.3 is 47.3 * 0.1 = 4.73. Dividing 47.3 by one tenth you get 473.

Dividing 47.3 by one tenth (0.1) is equivalent to multiplying by ten, as dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. This means 47.3 รท 0.1 = 47.3 ร— 10 = 473 . Therefore, both calculations yield the same result of 473.
