FRAME 3-19.
Solution to
Complete the problems by dividing. Don't forget to put your decimal point

in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
Remember: Zeros between the decimal point and the non-zero numbers
to the right of the decimal must be written.

Solution to
For additional practice, divide "1" by:

a. 0.1
a. 0.02
b. 0.001
b. 20,000
c. 0.000001
c. 200
Remember to put a decimal point after the "1" in the dividend and add
zeroes to the right as needed.

Solution to
"ROUNDING" DECIMALS. In
many cases, a
large, cumbersome,

accurate decimal value is not necessary. In cases when less accuracy
(fewer digits to the right of the decimal point) will do, you may round (or
a. 1/0.1 = 10
round off) the decimal.
b. 1/0.001 = 1000
To make a long decimal number shorter and easier to use without losing
too much accuracy, you can
the number.
c. 1/0.000001 =
1,000,000
