What pattern describes how the decimal point moves when you divid a deicamal by any power of ten?

Answer 1

Well, honey, when you divide a decimal by any power of ten, the decimal point moves to the left the same number of places as there are zeros in the power of ten. It's as simple as that, darling. Just shift that decimal point like you're moving furniture around in a small apartment - no big deal!

Answer 2

If the power of ten is x, where x is an integer then

• if x > 0 then the decimal point is moved x places to the right;
• if x < 0 then the decimal point is moved x places to the left;
• if x = 0 then 100 = 1 so that the decimal point does not move.
