Conclusions:
To multiplymultiply a decimal fraction by 10, 100, 1000 ... it is enough to move the decimal pointdecimal point to the right in the multiplied number by as many places as there are zeros in the number by which we multiply.
Multiplying decimals by 10, 100, 1000 ..., sometimes we have to expand them and add zero at the end.
In some cases, after moving the decimal pointdecimal pointdecimal point, zeros written to the left of the number that we multiplymultiply should be omitted.

Conclusions:
In order to divide a decimal fraction by 10, 100, 1000 ... it is enough to move the decimal pointdecimal point to the left side, by as many places as there are zeros in the number by which we divide (divisor).
Dividing decimals by 10, 100, 1000 ..., we must in some cases add zero to the left side of the dividend or omit unnecessary zeros on the right side of the dividend.
Do the calculations applying the rules you have learned. Do the task as fast as you can. Check your calculation results with the calculator.
