Three. Count number of zeros. If multiply decimal by 100 move decimal point 2 places, etc.
0.44 (If you have hundredths, you need to have 2 numbers after the decimal point.)
When doing it by pencil and paper (or mentally): 1) ignoring the decimal points multiply the numbers together; 2) count how many digits in total are after the decimal points in the multiplication; 3) put the decimal point into the answer (inserting leading zeros if necessary) so that the same number of digits follow the decimal point; 4) any trailing zeros can be not written. For 7.8 × 0.03 this leads to: 78 × 3 = 234 in 7.8 there is 1 digit after the decimal point in 0.03 there are 2 digits after the decimal point Thus in 7.8 × 0.03 there are 1 + 2 = 3 digits in total after the decimal point, and the answer must also have 3 digits after the decimal point. → 7.8 × 0.03 = 0.234 If the question had been 0.05 × 0.4 this leads to: 5 × 4 = 20 0.05 × 0.4 has 2 + 1 = 3 digits after the decimal point Thus 0.05 × 0.4 = 0.020 which has 3 digits after the decimal point but would [normally] be written without the trailing zero as 0.02 (only having 2 digits after the decimal point).
Because you are dividing by 100.

This is a decimal point. 11.5 as a fraction would be 23/2
Without a decimal point it is not a decimal number but the 2 in 1362 represents 2 units

It is 2: and there is no requirement to have a decimal point.
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.
2 and 3/10 = 2.3 as a decimal
3.4% in decimal form is .034.Remember - to change a percentage to decimal move the decimal point TWO (2) places to left. To change a decimal to a percentage - move the decimal point TWO (2) places to the right.

2.9
It is 0.69
2 d.p means 2 decimal places. It only includes the numbers after the decimal point, like 2.43 or 6.91.
