What happens when you move to the left of a decimal point?

Answer (3)

If you move left of a decimal point, that means that the number is decreasing like for example: 45.89 to a decimal point - 4.589
I hope this helped!

When you move a decimal point to the left n times, the number becomes 1 0 n times smaller.

Moving to the left of a decimal point decreases the value of the number by a factor of ten for each position moved. For instance, moving 45.89 one place left results in 4.589. This process is equivalent to dividing by 10 for each place moved to the left.
