Write a number that is 10 times smaller than 600.

assuming that "10 times smaller" means "1/10 as big" then

1/10 * 600 = 60

ooblek can assume anything he wants but the answer o the question from a reality/math/English standpoint the answer is - 5400 irrespective of any extraneous assumptions.

1 times smaller is 600 - (1*600) =0
2 times smaller is 600 - (2*600) = -600
3 times smaller is 600 - (3*600) = -1200

10 times smaller is 600 - (10*600) = - 5400

Hi

To find a number that is 10 times smaller than 600, we need to divide 600 by 10. The division can be done as follows:

600 ÷ 10 = 60

Therefore, a number that is 10 times smaller than 600 is 60.
