You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Each time you divide by \"10\", you move the decimal
\n" ); document.write( "point 1 place to the left
\n" ); document.write( "divide by \"10\" move decimal point 1 place to left
\n" ); document.write( "divide by \"100\" move dicimal point 2 places to left
\n" ); document.write( "divide by \"1000\" move decimal point 3 places to left
\n" ); document.write( "etc
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"5.82+%2F+1000\" you can do one step at a time
\n" ); document.write( "\"5.82+%2F+10+=+.582\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5.82+%2F+100+=+.0582\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5.82+%2F+1000+=+.00582\" this is your answer
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"7.9+%2F+100\"
\n" ); document.write( "Take it one step at a time
\n" ); document.write( "\"7.9+%2F+10+=+.79\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7.9+%2F+100+=+.079\" answer
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
