Why can you move the decimal point when dividing?

If you move the decimal point the same direction and number of places for the dividend and the divisor, this accomplishes the same thing as multiplying (or dividing) a numerator and denominator by the same number (in this case it is a power of ten). Moving the decimal place to the right by one place effectively multiplies the number by 10, and moving the decimal place to the left by one place is the same as dividing the number by 10. Example: 12345.6 / 10 = 1234.56


What are transformations in maths?

A transformation is how you move a shape from one place to another. For example rotations, translations and reflections are all ways of moving a shape.


What would be the displacement of an object going 5 meters north and then another 10 meters north?

15 meters north. the object is only moving away from the original starting place. its not like its moving away and then back again.


How do you know when a decimal is bigger than another decimal?

You have to look at the number in front (left or right) of the decimal.ex. 6.846


Is it true When you multiply a number by 10 you just add a nought?

Yes, it is true for all whole numbers (integers). It is not true for non integers.It is better to think of multiplying by 10 as moving the decimal point 1 place to the right.So, 3 * 10 = 30 (We can think of 3 as actually being 3.0, so by moving our decimal point one place to the right we get 30).Likewise 3.5 * 10 = 35 (Here the rule of adding a 0 does not work as 3.5 isn't a whole number, but moving the decimal point one place to the right always works).
