Hi! When I type into the calculator and multiply 0.12 and 100 it comes out as 13.2, why is that?

because it is a decimal so it multiplies 100 by the decimal which is a smaller number, almost like how when you divide it becomes a smaller number.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps:)

i'm not sure why that is, but the only thing i can assume is that either your calculator is broken somehow or you are accidentally typing in the wrong numbers.

you might also have forgotten to clear your calculator before attempting to put in 0.12 x 100.

i recommend using an online calculator for the time being if your calculator is faulty/having issues.
