1. The problem is to divide 7.6 by 100 and understand how to do it. 2. Dividing a number by 100 means moving the decimal point two places to the left because 100 has two zeros. 3. The number 7.6 can be written as 7.6 or 7.60 to visualize the decimal places. 4. Moving the decimal point two places left from 7.6: - One place left: 0.76 - Second place left: 0.076 5. Therefore, $$\frac{7.6}{100} = 0.076$$. 6. So dividing by 100 reduces the number by a factor of 100, shifting the decimal point two digits to the left.
