Answer 1

Answer: C) Move it 3 places to the left

Explanation:

We're dividing the number $34.62$ by $10^3$, which is the same as dividing by 1000.

The exponent 3 tells us how many spots to move the decimal point. We move to the left because the number gets smaller. If we multiplied by $10^3$, then we'd move the decimal point 3 spots to the right.

So, $34.62 \div 10^3 = 34.62 \div 1000 = 0.03462$
