(iii) 38.9 by 1000
(iv) 4.6 by 1000
(v) 0.8 by 1000
(vi) 2 by 1000

Answer 1

We have the following:

(i) 1286.5 ÷ 1000 = $\frac{1286.5}{1000}=1.2865$ [Shift the decimal point to the left by 3 places]

(ii) 354.16 ÷ 1000 = $\frac{354.16}{1000}=0.35416$ [Shift the decimal point to the left by 3 places]

(iii) 38.9 ÷ 1000 = $\frac{38.9}{1000}=0.0389$ [Shift the decimal point to the left by 3 places]

(iv) 4.6 ÷ 1000 = $\frac{4.6}{1000}=0.0046$ [Shift the decimal point to the left by 3 places]

(v) 0.8 ÷ 1000 = $\frac{0.8}{1000}=0.0008$ [Shift the decimal point to the left by 3 places]

(vi) 2 ÷ 1000 = $\frac{2}{1000}=0.002$ [Shift the decimal point to the left by 3 places]
