Multiplication and Division by Powers of 10 Examples

What is 5 ÷ 1000?

Move the decimal point 3 places to the left and we get 0.005.

What is 7500 ÷ 10?

The answer is 750 because we move the decimal point one place to the left. Just because we can't see the decimal point in this example doesn't mean it isn't there. Just like that ghost who's been hanging out in your attic.
