Yes! Moving the decimal point right is the same as multiplying by 10. Just make sure to move it the same number of places in both numbers.
Count the decimal places in both numbers and use the larger count. Here, 1.1 has 1 decimal place and 0.2 has 1, so multiply by 10¹ = 10.
That's perfectly normal! Some decimal divisions result in whole numbers. For example, 2.4 ÷ 0.8 = 3. Always double-check by multiplying back.
