Answer
becomes

Fill in  each box with only one digit or a decimal point

as needed.

0 . 5         2. 3 3 6 5
5
2.3365 ÷ 0.5

                 45.6028   ÷  0.004

 

In this  question you would first need to

move the decimal point

3 places to the right
3 places to the left 

4 places to the right 

4 places to the left

In this question the decimal point would

 

not be moved at all
be moved one place to the left
be moved one place to the right
8.4  ÷  12
becomes
12    8 . 4
8 . 4 ÷ 1 2

Fill in each box with only one digit

or a decimal point as needed

becomes
0.2
0.6 ÷ 0.2
0  .  6
