In this worksheet, you must divide whole numbers by 10 and 100.
When we divide by 10, we shift each digit one place to the right.
So 64 ÷ 10 = 6.4
When we divide by 100, we shift each digit two places to the right.
So 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
Example 1
Work out:
37 ÷ 100
Answer
Shift each digit two places to the right.
So 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
Example 2
Work out:
7 ÷ 100
Answer
Shift each digit two places to the right.
Fill in the blank spaces with zeros.
So 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
Example 3
Work out:
30 ÷ 100
Answer
Shift each digit two places to the right.
Leave off the last zero.
So 30 ÷ 100 = 0.30 = 0.3
