To move the decimal you must move the decimal in the divisor all the way to the right to make it a whole number. Then in the dividend, you move that decimal to the right the same amount of spaces you did in the divisor.
You cannot just move the decimal when you multiply or divide by 101001000.
Percent to decimal divide by 100 (move the decimal 2 places left.) 57% = .57
First you divide the numerator by the denominator and will equal a decimal then you move the decimal two places.
Any time you multiply or divide by a power of ten, it appears as if the decimal is moving.
If you have a fraction, divide the top by the bottom to get the decimal. If you have a decimal, move the decimal point 2 places that way --> to get the percent. If you have percent, move the decimal point 2 places this way <-- to get the decimal.
To divide a number by 1000, you move the decimal point three places to the left. For example, if you have the number 5.67 and you divide it by 1000, you would move the decimal to get 0.00567. If there aren't enough digits to move the decimal three places, you can add zeros as needed.

to get decimal, divide percent by 100 (or move decimal two places to the left) 0.07014
Percent to decimal divide by 100 (move the decimal 2 places left.) 57% = .57
First you divide the numerator by the denominator and will equal a decimal then you move the decimal two places.
Divide by 100, which is to move the decimal point two places to the left. 31% = 0.31
Any time you multiply or divide by a power of ten, it appears as if the decimal is moving.
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.
If you have a fraction, divide the top by the bottom to get the decimal. If you have a decimal, move the decimal point 2 places that way --> to get the percent. If you have percent, move the decimal point 2 places this way <-- to get the decimal.
Move the decimal to the right until they are both whole numbers.You can divide them now.
To go from percent to decimal divide by 100, or move decimal two places to he left .008% = .00008
It enables you to multiply or divide by 10 (or powers of 10).
