Decimal Division 4216A9
1. **State the problem:** We need to divide several decimal numbers by 10, 100, or 1000.
2. **Formula and rule:** Dividing a number by 10, 100, or 1000 moves the decimal point to the left by 1, 2, or 3 places respectively.
3. **Step-by-step solutions:**
- $67.2 \div 10 = 6.72$ (move decimal 1 place left)
- $8194.7 \div 10 = 819.47$ (move decimal 1 place left)
- $4.6 \div 10 = 0.46$ (move decimal 1 place left)
- $2.5 \div 100 = 0.025$ (move decimal 2 places left)
- $96.3 \div 1000 = 0.0963$ (move decimal 3 places left)
- $0.53 \div 10 = 0.053$ (move decimal 1 place left)
- $9 \div 100 = 0.09$ (move decimal 2 places left)
- $29 \div 100 = 0.29$ (move decimal 2 places left)
- $762 \div 1000 = 0.762$ (move decimal 3 places left)
4. **Explanation:** Dividing by powers of 10 is straightforward because it shifts the decimal point to the left by the number of zeros in the divisor. This is a quick mental math technique.
**Final answers:**
$6.72, 819.47, 0.46, 0.025, 0.0963, 0.053, 0.09, 0.29, 0.762$
