In this activity, we will learn how to divide by 0.01

Dividing by 0.01 is the same as multiplying by 100.  This is because 0.01 is one hundredth and there are a hundred hundredths in a whole.

So,   542 ÷ 0.01 = 54,200  and also  542 x 100 = 54,200

Let's try another one.

What is 264 ÷ 0.01?

It is the same as multiplying 264 by 100, so the answer is 26,400

How about this one?

What is 4.72 ÷ 0.01?

It is the same as multiplying 4.72 by 100, so it is 472.

Let's have a go at some questions now.
