Answer 1

Moving the decimal 3 places to the left.

Explanation:

Take the number 3000 and divide it by 1000 in your calculator. You will get the answer 3. Although we do not write it, the decimal in the number 3000 is at the end of the number (after the last zero). When we divide by 1000, we move the decimal 3 places to the let. The decimal in the number 3 is at the end or to the right of the 3, we just do not write the decimal.
