Worksheet Overview

When we divide numbers by 10, each digit must move one place to the right.  

When we look at the columns in a Th, H, T, O grid we notice that Hundreds are 10 times smaller than Thousands, Tens are 10 times smaller than Hundreds etc...

 

Work out:

546 ÷ 10 = 54.6 

 

Here is 546 in a Th, H, T, O grid.

 

Answer:

Each digit moves one place to the right.

So, 546 ÷ 10 = 54.6.
