Which way do you move the decimal when dividing?

Answer 1

You always move the decimal to the right when dividing by a number which is not a whole number. For example: In the problem 100 divided by .01, you would move the decimal two places to the right for divisor and dividend leaving you with 10000 divided by 1.

Answer 2

Well, honey, when you divide, you move the decimal to the right to make the divisor a whole number. Count how many times you moved that decimal, and then do the same to the dividend. Just remember, move that decimal like you're on a mission!

Answer 3

When dividing by a power of 10 (10, 100, 1000, etc.), you move the decimal to the left the same number of places as there are zeros in the divisor. For example, when dividing by 10, you move the decimal one place to the left. If the divisor is 100, you move the decimal two places to the left, and so on.

Answer 4

you can move it the amount of numbers you have and move it back when your done and get your decimal or you can keep it.You can move it meaning you can move it away the amout of digits yoiu have like for example ,6.78 there are 2 spaces after the decimal,when you are done multiplying you have to move it back 2 spaces or you wont get full credit.
