Divide by 0.01

In this activity, we will learn how to divide by 0.01

Dividing by 0.01 is the same as multiplying by 100.  This is because 0.01 is one hundredth and there are a hundred hundredths in a whole.

So,   542 ÷ 0.01 = 54,200  and also  542 x 100 = 54,200

Let's try another one.

What is 264 ÷ 0.01?

It is the same as multiplying 264 by 100, so the answer is 26,400

How about this one?

What is 4.72 ÷ 0.01?

It is the same as multiplying 4.72 by 100, so it is 472.

Let's have a go at some questions now.
