What patterns do you notice in the number of zeros of the product when you multiply a whole number by powers of 10? Explain why this works.

The number of the exponent is the number of zeros you have at the end of your number you are multiplying by the powers of 10.

Basically if your asking, why is there a zero every time you multiply by the powers of ten I can't answer that but what I can say is that no matter what you do you will get a 0 for your answer, unless you are adding.
