What do you do if the decimal point is in the dividend?
Divide as normal, but make sure to place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
How does the position of the decimal point change in a quotient as you divide by increasing powers of 10?
The decimal point moves to the left.
How can estimating the product help you place the decimal point?
Ex: 52.73 x 384.12 Round to 50 x 400 = 20,000 so when you do the actual math you know that there are 5 places to the left of the decimal.
If you have to round a quotient to the nearest hundredth what place do you need to divide?
You just continue to do the division, until you calculate the third digit after the decimal point. Then you round.
What happens to the decimal point in the quotient when the dividend is increased 1000 times but the divisor remains unchanged?
The decimal point moves 3 places to the right.
