Question

divide.
9.44 ÷ 1000

Explanation:

Step1: Recall division by powers of 10

When dividing a decimal by \(10^n\) (where \(n\) is a positive integer), we move the decimal point \(n\) places to the left. Here, we are dividing by \(1000 = 10^3\), so we move the decimal point 3 places to the left.

Step2: Apply the rule to 9.44

Starting with 9.44, moving the decimal point 3 places to the left: the first move gives 0.944 (1 place), the second gives 0.0944 (2 places), the third gives 0.00944 (3 places). So \(9.44\div1000 = 0.00944\).

Answer:

\(0.00944\)
