Question

A student used his place value chart to show a number. After the teacher instructed him to divide his number by 100,the chart showed 28.003. Draw a picture of what the place value chart looked like at first.

Answer 1

When you divide by 100 you are essentially moving the decimal of the number two places to the left. In undoing this you would have to move the decimal of the number two places to the right.

28.003 would then turn into 2,800.3

Unfortunately I cannot draw a chart on here but that is the best I can do.

Answer 2

When you divide by a decimal your moving the decimal over to the left and rounding to the nearest hundredth
