Answer:

55,516/10,000 = 5.5516

5,551,600/10,000 = 555.16

555,160,000/10,000 = 55,516

55,516,000,000/10,000 = 5,551,600

Explanation:

To answer the first question, count up the number of digits in the decimal places in 5.5516, which is 4 digits. Then, you simply add that number of digits, in this case 4, as 0s to 1. So, because there are 4 digits in the decimal place, you add that number of 0s to 1 to make 10,000.

To answer the second question, you move the decimal place to the left the number of zeroes there are in the divisor. In this case, we take 5,551,600, and move the decimal place to the left 4 times, as there are 4 zeroes in 10,000. So it goes 5,551,600→555,160.0→55,516.00→5,551.600→555.1600, and then you can cut the zeroes out to get 555.16.

To answer the third question, we simply multiply 55,516 by 10,000 to get 555,160,000.

To answer the last question, we do the same thing we did in the second question to get 5,551,600.

Hope this helps!!
