Question

Explain the placement of the decimal point when dividing by a power of 10. (please explain it in 3 sentences )​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

when a number is divided by powers of 10 the decimal place shifts one place to right side

ex= 3/10=0.3

3/1000=0.003

Answer 2

● We know that the decimal point goes to the right of the ones place.

●So when you divide by powers of ten (ten times itself some number of times, like ten, one hundred, one thousand, etc.), the decimal moves to the left.

●For each power of ten, you move one place to the left.
