Part A: Multiplying by powers of 10
When you multiply a decimal by 10, 100, or 1000, you move the decimal point to the right:
- ×10 → move decimal 1 place right
- ×100 → move decimal 2 places right
- ×1000 → move decimal 3 places right
Let’s do each one:
1)
0.432 × 100
Move decimal 2 places right:
0.432 → 4.32 →
43.2
2)
1.92 × 10
Move decimal 1 place right:
1.92 →
19.2
3)
6.3664 × 1000
Move decimal 3 places right:
6.3664 → 63.664 → 636.64 →
6366.4
4)
3.245 × 100
Move decimal 2 places right:
3.245 → 32.45 →
324.5
5)
2.35 × 10
Move decimal 1 place right:
2.35 →
23.5
6)
1.2364 × 1000
Move decimal 3 places right:
1.2364 → 12.364 → 123.64 →
1236.4
Now match these answers with the green boxes:
- 43.2 → matches #1
- 19.2 → matches #2
- 6366.4 → matches #3
- 324.5 → matches #4
- 23.5 → matches #5
- 1236.4 → matches #6
✔ All matched correctly.

Part B: Dividing by powers of 10
When you divide a number by 10, 100, or 1000, you move the decimal point to the left:
- ÷10 → move decimal 1 place left
- ÷100 → move decimal 2 places left
- ÷1000 → move decimal 3 places left
Let’s do each one:
1)
14.5 ÷ 10
Move decimal 1 place left:
14.5 →
1.45
2)
123.8 ÷ 100
Move decimal 2 places left:
123.8 → 1.238 →
1.238
3)
2366.1 ÷ 1000
Move decimal 3 places left:
2366.1 → 2.3661 →
2.3661
4)
156.2 ÷ 100
Move decimal 2 places left:
156.2 → 1.562 →
1.562
5)
2456.2 ÷ 1000
Move decimal 3 places left:
2456.2 → 2.4562 →
2.4562
6)
26.3 ÷ 10
Move decimal 1 place left:
26.3 →
2.63
Now match these answers with the teal boxes:
- 1.45 → matches #1
- 1.238 → matches #2
- 2.3661 → matches #3
- 1.562 → matches #4
- 2.4562 → matches #5
- 2.63 → matches #6
✔ All matched correctly.
