Multiply and Divide by Powers of 10

Complete each calculation mentally by considering how the digits shift in value. Write the complete answer, including any necessary zeroes.

1. 6.38 × 10 =

2. 4.7 × 100 =

3. 0.526 × 1,000 =

4. 73.2 ÷ 10 =

2. 0.36 × 5 =

3. 4.25 × 4 =

4. 1.08 × 6 =

1. 7.2 ÷ 4 =

2. 5.46 ÷ 3 =

3. 8.4 ÷ 5 =

4. 9.18 ÷ 6 =

5. 6.25 ÷ 4 =

5

1. Round 6.748 to the nearest whole number.

2. Round 3.286 to 1 decimal place.

3. Round 9.375 to 2 decimal places.

4. Round 0.946 to 1 decimal place.

5. Round 12.504 to 2 decimal places.
