TOPIC : DECIMALS
Division of Decimals
A. Division by 10,100,1000 etc.
● Dividing a decimal by 10 moves the decimal point 1 place to the left.
Eg : 0.08 10 = 0.008
● Dividing a decimal by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the left.
Eg : 12.57 100 = 0.1257
● Dividing a decimal by 1000 moves the decimal point 3 places to the left.
Eg : 6.7 1000 = 0.0067
