If the divisor in a division problem 2.25 how many places should you move the decimal point in the dividend?
If the dividend is between 2.25*10k and 10k+1 where k is any integer, then the decimal point does not move while if the dividend is between 10k and 2.25*10k then the decimal point moves 1 place to the left.
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.
What do you do when there is a decimal on the outside of division house?
To divide decimal numbers:If the divisor is not a whole number, move decimal point to right to make it a whole number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.Divide as usual. ...Put decimal point directly above decimal point in the dividend.Check your answer.
How do you divid 00.5 diviser by 00.57?
To divide by a decimal, make the divisor a whole number by moving the decimal point to the right; the dividend must also be changed by moving its decimal point the same number of digits to the right. So to divide 0.5 by 0.57, make the divisor 0.57 into 57 by moving the decimal point two digits to the right, then also move the decimal point of the dividend (0.5) two places to the right to give 50. Thus: 0.5 / 0.57 = 50 / 57 ~= 0.88
Must a decimal divisor and a decimal dividend have the same number of decimal places?
No.
