Question

explain the relationship between multiplying and dividing by 10 100 1000 and moving decimals point to the right or to the left

Answer 1

So basically a decimal is moved based on how many zeros are in the dividing number

Ex. 51,000/100

because there are 2 zeros in the number one hundred, the decimal in 51,000 gets moved 2 places to the left

So it goes from 51,000 to 510

Ex. 16 * 1000

There are three zeros in the number 1000. This means three zeros will be added onto the number 16

So the answer would be 16,000

Hope this helps!
