What is the quotient? Fifteen and thirty five hundredths Explain the position of the decimal point in both the dividend and the quotient. They are in the same place. How many decimal places did the decimal point move in the answer? Zero Which direction did the decimal point move? It did not move. Explain why the decimal point did not move. Dividing any number by one will not change the value. When we divided fifteen and thirty five hundredths by one our quotient remained the same. We moved the decimal point zero places, it did not move, because when we divide by one there is no change. Take a look at the third row in the chart which shows fifteen and thirty five hundredths divided by ten. What is the quotient? One and five hundred thirty five thousandths. How many decimal places did the decimal point move in the answer? One Which direction did the decimal point move? To the left. Explain why the decimal moved one place to the left. Because we are dividing by a power of ten, the digits in the quotient are the same as the dividend, but the decimal point moves to the left one place. When we divide by ten our quotient is one and five hundred thirty five thousandths. How many places did the decimal point move in the answer? One Which direction did the decimal point move? To the left. And why? When we divide by ten we have a change in the value. Complete the second row and then the first two of the chart using one hundred and then one thousand as divisors. Take a look at the fifth row in the chart. What is fifteen and thirty five hundredths divided by one tenth? One hundred fifty three and five tenths. How many places did the decimal point move in the answer? It moved one place. What direction did the decimal point move? To the right. Why did the decimal point move one to the right? Dividing by one tenth will make the answer larger.
