When you multiply a decimal by 100, which way and how many places does the decimal point move?

1. Count the zeros in 100, which has two zeros. 2. Multiplying by a power of ten moves the decimal point to the right by that many places. 3. So multiplying by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the right. 4. Moving it left, or a different number of places, does not match the pattern for multiplying by 100. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 5 "Decimals", section 5.2 Decimal Operations_
