What is similar about when you multiply decimals and divide decimals by a power of ten?
Both multiplication and division can be performed simply by moving the decimal point of the number: to the right if multiplying, to the left if dividing. E.g. for 10, you can move the decimal point by one place to perform the operation. Multiplication by 10: move decimal one place to the right (add zero if already a whole number). Division by 10: move decimal point one place to the left (one place in if a whole number).
