To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through these steps in detail:
In Step 1, we confirm that the problem provides the number to be divided by .
In Step 2, we apply the rule of decimal division by shifting the decimal point in one place to the left. This means the decimal moves from between the "111" and the "1" to between the "11" and "11". Thus, the number becomes .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
\( \text{0}.07\times10= \)
Think of it this way: dividing makes numbers smaller, so the decimal point moves toward the smaller place values (left). When you divide by 10, each digit becomes one-tenth of its original value.
The pattern continues! Dividing by 100 moves the decimal two places left, dividing by 1000 moves it three places left. Count the zeros in the divisor to know how many places to move.
Add zeros to the left! For example, . The extra zero holds the place value and makes your answer correct.
Multiply your answer by the original divisor. If you get back to the original number, you're right! For example: ✓
No difference at all! Both and mean exactly the same thing. Different countries and textbooks use different symbols for division.
