If I wanted to multiply by a power of ten, I'd move it to the right. If I wanted to divide by a power of ten, I'd move it to the left.
Take the number of centimeters, move the decimal point 2 places this way and you have centimeters.
To move the decimal you must move the decimal in the divisor all the way to the right to make it a whole number. Then in the dividend, you move that decimal to the right the same amount of spaces you did in the divisor.

If you have a fraction, divide the top by the bottom to get the decimal. If you have a decimal, move the decimal point 2 places that way --> to get the percent. If you have percent, move the decimal point 2 places this way <-- to get the decimal.
an easy way to do this is to move the decimal two spots to the left. for instance 50% would be .50. Likewise to turn a decimal to a percent you move the decimal two spaces to the right. for instance .50 would be 50%.
The decimal would go left. For example: 18.0: Smaller: 1.8 Bigger: 180
If you have a decimal, move the decimal point two places that way ---> to get percent.
Left or right.

49.5% converted to a decimal would be: .495Remember, when converting a percentage to a decimal we move the decimal point TWO places to the LEFT.When converting a decimal to a percentage we move the decimal point TWO places to the RIGHT.
Left or right - depending on what you are trying to do.
