Question

find the quotient.
420 ÷ 1,000 =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall division by powers of 10

Dividing a number by \(1000\) is equivalent to moving the decimal point three places to the left.

Step2: Apply to 420

For \(420\), we can write it as \(420.0\). Moving the decimal point three places to the left gives \(0.420\), which simplifies to \(0.42\).

Answer:

\(0.42\)
