It depends on what numbers you are multiplying and how many decimals places they each have. It doesn't always haveto move to the right.
You move it right.
moving the decimal 3 place to the right 1000 have 3 zeros.
Move the decimal place one position to the right and you will have an equivalent number in tenths of a unit.
to add decimals: -line up the decimal points -then starting at the farthest place to the right, add the decimal in each place -if the sum of the digits in a place are greater than nine,regroup the number to the place to its left. -check the sum by writing each decimal as an equivalent fraction and then adding these numbers or mixed numbers.
When multiplying decimals, the decimal points in the product are determined by the total number of decimal places in the factors being multiplied. Specifically, you count the total number of digits to the right of the decimal points in both numbers, and then place the decimal point in the product so that it has that same number of decimal places. For example, if you multiply 2.5 (one decimal place) by 0.4 (one decimal place), the result, 1.0, will have two decimal places.
You move it right.
It is the digit to the right of the decimal point. eg. 11.26. the 2 is in the tenths place
for example 0.01 the one is in the hundredths place two places after the decimal.
moving the decimal 3 place to the right 1000 have 3 zeros.
Place Value Charts help you because they put the decimal in the right place.
The tenths place in decimals is the first digit to the right of the decimal point. For example, 15.2 is fifteen and two tenths.
For terminating decimals, yes - the place value of the digit farthest to the right (furthest after the decimal point) is the denominator. Don't forget to simplify the fraction (if possible).
Move the decimal place one position to the right and you will have an equivalent number in tenths of a unit.

Look at the second(2nd) decimal place. If it is '5' or greater, then add '1' to the first decimal place. . Then drop the rest of the decimals. Hence 16.67 The second decimal place is '7' , so it is greater than '5'. So add '1' to '6' = 7 Hence 16.7 Ignore any more decimals to the right.
In long division with decimals, you place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided). If the divisor has a decimal, you can move the decimal point to the right until it becomes a whole number, and you must do the same with the dividend. After aligning the decimal points, proceed with the division as you would with whole numbers.
