When dividing decimals, you move the decimal point to the right in the divisor (the number you are dividing by) to make it a whole number. You must then move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right. This ensures that the division remains equivalent. The result will have its decimal point placed according to the new position of the decimal in the dividend.
In the number 0.35, the digit 5 is in the hundredths place. The place value of each digit in a decimal number is determined by its position relative to the decimal point. In this case, the hundredths place is two places to the right of the decimal point.
Move the decimal place one position to the right and you will have an equivalent number in tenths of a unit.
Blank = "Right".
In the number 12.345, the 5 is in the hundredths place. The place value of each digit in a decimal number is determined by its position relative to the decimal point. Starting from the decimal point and moving to the right, the place values in a decimal number are tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on.
1st position after decimal is 1/10 2nd position after decimal is 1/100 3rd position after decimal is 1/1000 ..... nth position after decimal is 1/(10^n)
a is a number with one or more digits to the right of a decimal point.
407.5 - the number if increased by a factor of ten, so the decimal point moves one position to the right.
To make a decimal a fraction, you have to understand the places. Given the number 0.123, the places to the right of the decimal point take on the same kind of values as the ones to the left. These values are based off the number 10, except in this direction, they're fractional parts of multiples of 10. The first place (in this case "1") is called the "tenths" position. If you had a number that ended here, it would be easy to make a fraction. You simply would put the number over 10. 1/10 The second position right of decimal point is the "hundredths" position. If the decimal ended here, you would simply put the number over 100. 12/100 The third position is the "thousandths" position. Our decimal ends here, and so we put the number over 1000. 123/1000 The positions continue: ten-thousandths, hundred-thousandths, millionths...
The digit in the tenths place of 74.62 is 6. In this decimal number, the tenths place is immediately to the right of the decimal point. Therefore, 74.62 can be broken down as 74 (whole number) and 0.62 (decimal), where 6 is in the tenths position.
9.72 x 10-5 You put the decimal behind the first digit. Then count the number of places the decimal moved from its original position. This number becomes the exponent of the 10. If you move the decimal to the left, it is a positive number for the exponent. To the right, it is a negative exponent.
