What pattern describes how the decimal point moves when you divide decimal number by any power of ten?
When you divide a decimal number by a power of ten, the decimal point moves to the left by as many places as the exponent of ten indicates. For example, dividing by 10 moves the decimal point one place left, dividing by 100 moves it two places left, and so on. This pattern effectively reduces the value of the decimal number. Conversely, multiplying by a power of ten moves the decimal point to the right.
How do you express 0.8 percent as a decimal?
The general rule for changing a percent to a decimal is to move the decimal point to the left two spaces (that is, divide by 100). Here you are given 0.8%, right? Divide 0.8 by 100 and you get 0.008. That's your decimal. Hope that helped.
What is the general rule for multiplying a decimal by a negative integer power of A?
When multiplying a decimal by a negative integer power of a number ( A ), the general rule is to move the decimal point to the left. Specifically, if you multiply by ( A^{-n} ) (where ( n ) is a positive integer), you divide the decimal by ( A^n ), effectively shifting the decimal point ( n ) places to the left. This results in a smaller value, as you are dividing by a power of ( A ).
What is the decimal equivalent of 9 percent?
.09 cause to move the decimal you either times by 100 or divdie when u times it moves the decimal to the left and when you divide it it moves two spots to the right
What do you multiply a number by to move the move the decimal place to the right?
Multiply by ten to move the decimal one place to the right. Multiply by 100 to move two places to the right. Divide by ten to move it one place to the left.

Which way would you move the decimal?
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.
How is the way the decimal point moves when you divide a decimal number by a power of ten the same as when you multiply?
It is not. For positive powers of ten, the decimal point moves to the right when multiplying and to the left when dividing. For negative powers of ten the point moves in the opposite directions.
Why Move the decimal point to the right when you multiply?
The reason is because you have to make the number bigger when you multiply. When you move the decimal to the right you make the number bigger, when you move it to the left you make it smaller. Therefore, when you divide you must move the decimal to the left.
How do you multiply or divide by the powers of ten?
When multiplying by a power of ten the digits of the number move left the same number of place value columns as the power. When dividing by a power of ten the digits of the number move right the same number of place value columns as the power. As this is awkward to do with pencil and paper, the effect on the position of the decimal point is used instead: To multiply by a power of ten the decimal point is moved right the same number of digits as the power of 10; To divide by a power of ten the decimal point is moved left the same number of digits as the power of 10; If there are insufficient digits to do the moving zeros (0) are inserted as necessary.
Why do you have to move the decimal over?
When you multiply or divide a number by 10, the decimal place is moved to the right or the left. Ie. 2.0 x 10 = 20.0 ( The decimal point was moved to the right for multiplication). Ie. 20.0 / 10 = 2.0 ( The decimal point was moved to the left for division).
What happensto the place value of a number when you divide ten?
It moves to the right because the decimal point moves to the left.
