Solution:
The shortcut for dividing decimal numbers by numbers such as 10, 100, and 1000:
Move the decimal point to the left as many places as there are zeros in the factors 10, 100 and 1000.
Product of 122.1 and [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex]:
[tex]$122.1\times\frac{1}{100} =\frac{122.1}{100}[/tex]
= 1.221 (There are 2 zeroes, so move 2 places left)
Product of 122.1 and [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex] = 1.221
Product of 11.8 and [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex]:
[tex]$11.8\times\frac{1}{100} =\frac{11.8}{100}[/tex]
= 0.118 (There are 2 zeroes, so move 2 places left)
Product of 11.8 and [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex] = 0.118
Product of 1350.1 and [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex]:
[tex]$1350.1\times\frac{1}{100} =\frac{1350.1}{100}[/tex]
= 13.501 (There are 2 zeroes, so move 2 places left)
Product of 1350.1 and [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex] = 13.501
Product of 1.704 and [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex]:
[tex]$1.704\times\frac{1}{100} =\frac{1.704}{100}[/tex]
= 0.01704 (There are 2 zeroes, so move 2 places left)
Product of 1.704 and [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex] = 0.01704
