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 is the place value of the 5 in 12.345?
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.
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.
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
