Question

divide.
1.24 ÷ 1000

Explanation:

Step1: Recall division by powers of 10

When dividing a decimal by \(10^n\), 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 1.24

For \(1.24\), moving the decimal point 3 places to the left: the first move gives \(0.124\), the second move gives \(0.0124\), and the third move gives \(0.00124\).

Answer:

\(0.00124\)
