When dividing a number by 10 Where is the decimal point move 2 points?
If there IS a decimal point, move it to the right the same number of places that there are 0s. When dividing by 10, 100, 1000 and so on, move the decimal point to the left as many places as there are 0s. So when dividing by 10, move the decimal point one place, by 100 two places, by 1000 three places and so on.
What is a 10th of a point?
If a number has a decimal point , then the first digit to the right of the decimal point indicates the number of tenths. For example, the decimal 0.3 is the same as the fraction 310 . The second digit to the right of the decimal point indicates the number of hundredths.
How do you divide two fractions together?
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.
When a decimal is divided by 10 the decimal point moves to the left by place?
If you multiply a decimal by 10, the decimal point will move one place to the right. If you divide a decimal by 10, the decimal point will move one place to the left.
What happens when you divide a number by a power of ten?
So when you divide by powers of ten (ten times itself some number of times, like ten, one hundred, one thousand, etc.), the decimal moves to the left. For each power of ten, you move one place to the left. So if you divided a number by one hundred (10^2 or 10*10), you would move two places to the left.
How to find the midpoint of two numbers?
To find the midpoint of any two numbers, find the average of those two numbers by adding them together and dividing by 2. In this case, 30 + 60 = 90. 90 / 2 = 45.
Which is the correct definition of the midpoint?
The midpoint is simply the average of each coordinate of the section, forming a new coordinate point. We shall illustrate this below.
How is a decimal value divided by a power of 10?
Move the decimal place left two times. 0.001 divided by 100 = 0.00001. Place value goes up and down by powers of 10. Every time you multiply by 10, you go up a place value and every time you divide by 10, you go down a place value. When you divide 0.001 by 100, you’re basically dividing 0.001 by 10 twice, so you go down two place values.
