How does this quiz work?
Read each question, choose one answer among A, B, C and D, then check it: a short explanation appears after every answer. Your score out of 10 is shown at the end, and you can restart the quiz as often as you like.
What should you review before the quiz?
Reread the key facts of the lesson and the worked example. If a question is hard, go back to the matching part of the lesson, then try the quiz again. Write your work on scrap paper: most mistakes come from skipping a step, not from the idea itself.
Remember:
Each place is 10 times the place to its right and 1/10 of the place to its left.
10^n means n factors of 10, and it has n zeros: 10^3 = 1,000.
Multiplying by 10^n moves every digit n places to the left.
Dividing by 10^n moves every digit n places to the right.
Use zeros to hold empty places after moving digits.
