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.
