Question 2 - Page 68 Can you give a simple rule to divide any number by a number of the form 1 followed by zeroes — 10, 100, 1000, etc.? For example, 123/10, 24/100 or 678/1000 ? Look for a pattern in the previous problems. A simple rule could be Count the number of zeros in the divisor (the bottom number). Move the decimal point that many places to the left. If dividing by 10 (1 zero) → Move decimal 1 step left. If dividing by 100 (2 zeros) → Move decimal 2 steps left.
