To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We are given and need to divide by .
Step 2: Since dividing by involves moving the decimal point two places to the left, we take and shift the decimal to get .
Step 3: Comparing our result with the answer choices, corresponds to choice id .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
\( \text{0}.07\times10= \)
Because 100 has 2 zeros! Each zero represents moving the decimal one place left. So 100 = 2 places, 1000 = 3 places, and so on.
Add zeros as placeholders! For example, 5.2 ÷ 100 becomes 05.2, then move left twice to get 0.052.
It's the opposite direction! Multiplying by 100 moves decimal 2 places right (makes bigger), while dividing moves 2 places left (makes smaller).
You could, but the decimal shifting method is much faster and easier! Long division would give the same answer but take much longer.
Double-check your decimal movement! Count carefully: one place, two places. The most common error is moving the wrong number of places.
