1. Multiplying and Dividing Decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000

2. The Basics:
When you multiply by 10, 100, or 1,000, you can move the decimal point to the right.
The number of decimal places you move is the same as the number of zeroes you are multiplying by.
When you multiply by 0.1, 0.01, or 0.001, you can move the decimal point to the left. Move the decimal point once for each decimal place you are multiplying by.

3. 12 x 1
12 x 10
12 x 100
12 x 1000

4. 12.2 x 1
12.2 x 10
12.2 x 100
12.2 x 1000

5. 1.492 x 100
Move the decimal to the right: two spaces.
149.2

6. 15.36 x 1,000
Move the decimal point to the right: three spaces. Add a zero for the third space.
15,360

7. 4.2 x 0.01
Move the decimal point to the left: two spaces. Add a zero for the second space. Put a zero before the decimal.
4.2 becomes 0.042

8. 48 x 0.1
Move the decimal point to the left: one space.
4.8

9. 2, x 0.001
Move the decimal to the left: three spaces.

10. Now, make and answer your own set like the set below.
2.48 x 1000
2.48 x 100
2.48 x 10
2.48 x 1
2.48 x 0.1
2.48 x 0.01
