Step-by-step solution for: Decimals Worksheets - Math Monks
To solve the problems in the worksheet, we need to divide each number by 10, 100, or 1000. Dividing by these numbers involves moving the decimal point to the left by a specific number of places:
- Dividing by 10: Move the decimal point 1 place to the left.
- Dividing by 100: Move the decimal point 2 places to the left.
- Dividing by 1000: Move the decimal point 3 places to the left.
Let's solve each problem step by step:
---
- Move the decimal point 1 place to the left: \( 62.0 \rightarrow 6.2 \)
- Answer: \( 6.2 \)
