Answer:
Cheryl is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cheryl solved a problem : 84 ÷ 0.01 = 8,400.
This is absolutely right.
When we divide any whole number with the divisor having decimal, we change the divisor to a whole number before performing the division.
To do this, we multiply both the numbers (divisor and dividend) by the same power of 10, until the divisor is a whole number.
=
to make divisor a whole number we will again multiply both the numbers by 10.
=
