In this activity, we will practise dividing by 0.1 and 0.01
Dividing by 0.1 is the same as multiplying by 10. This is because there are 10 tenths in a whole.
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.
Examples
19.21 ÷ 0.1 = 19.21 × 10 = 192.1
7,190 ÷ 0.01 = 7,190 × 100 = 719,000
Notice that numbers get bigger when you divide them by 0.1 or 0.01
