To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We need to divide 1036 by 100. This is equivalent to finding how many hundreds fit into 1036.
Step 2: When dividing a number by 100, the decimal point is shifted two positions to the left. The original number 1036 can be expressed as 1036.0 (adding a decimal point and a zero for clarity). By moving the decimal point two places to the left, we convert 1036.0 to 10.36.
Step 3: Therefore, .
Comparing this result to the given multiple-choice options, the correct answer is choice 2, which is .
Therefore, the solution to this problem is .
Solve the following exercise:
Think of it this way: 100 is bigger than 1036, so when you divide, you get a smaller number. Moving the decimal point left makes numbers smaller, which is exactly what division should do!
Every whole number has an invisible decimal point at the end! So 1036 is really 1036.0, and you can move that decimal point left as needed.
Use this trick: Division makes numbers smaller, so move decimal left. Multiplication makes numbers bigger, so move decimal right.
If you run out of digits when moving left, add zeros to the left of your number. For example: 25 ÷ 100 becomes 0.25 (adding a zero before the 2).
The pattern is: count the zeros and move decimal that many places!
