Why does the number get smaller when multiplied?
Hello.
So if you calculate 0.001×10 it is 0.0001.
But multiplying it simply means multiplying it by a number.
So why is the number getting smaller here?

Your confusion may come from the statement
“If a number x > 0 is multiplied by a number y with 0 < y < 1, x*y < x is". In words, if you multiply something positive with a positive number of less than 1 you make it a little smaller. In your example, the 10 becomes smaller, the result of the multiplication (on your mistake others have already mentioned you) is less than 10.
Why is the page blue and other white
No.
0,001×10 = 0,01
Oh, thank you very much, I thought I had seen 0.01 times 0.01, where it would naturally make sense that the number will be smaller.
Easy. You were wrong. 0,001×10=0,01
0,001 times 10 = 0.01 !
