The new decimal place is here.

So our decimal place becomes like this.

For the first decimal place of my number,

This is the new place for the decimal.

I'll construct my decimal one place at a time.

I'll look at the first decimal place of your first number.

Because this is the important idea behind whole number place value, decimal place value and fractions.

We have a 7 one place to the right of the decimal.

No, because the 143rd place of my decimal is different from the 143rd place of your 143rd number.

This decimal sits right in that place, so we could always have that decimal sitting right there in our quotient or in our answer.

Or an even easier way, when we go from a percent to a decimal, we move the decimal place over two to the left.

Or you could view it as we've just moved the decimal over one place.

Decimal

It's a decimal machine. Everything's done in decimal.

The total width of it is 600 times smaller than the width of a decimal place.

You literally shift the decimal place two to the right, and you put a percent sign there.

Notice I lined up this decimal right below this decimal.

Well, there's one number behind the decimal point, two numbers behind the decimal point, three numbers behind the decimal point, four numbers behind the decimal point.

At least one decimal shall be shown after the decimal point.

I'll look at the second place of your second number.

There's a decimal.

The decimal point.

So you actually want this decimal to be right above this decimal.

Decimal goes here, and I put the decimal right above, right there.

Switch base to decimal.

That decimal goes away.

We've shifted the decimal.

Put the decimal here.
