How can estimating quotients help you place the decimal correctly?

Estimating quotients gives an indication of the order of magnitude of the answer. That is, whether the answer is in units, or tens, or hundreds, thousands and so forth. Basic understanding of the placement of the decimal point should then be a trivial exercise.

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


How can i get a denominator of a decimal?

Count the number of digits after the decimal point. The denominator is 1 followed by the same number of 0s.So, for example, 12.0356 has 4 digits after the decimal place. Therefore the denominator is 10000, and the rational form is 120356/10000
