Am I supposed to move the decimal over one? If I do then the answer is 7.01, if I don't then the answer is 0.701. I am confused.
Answered by Ms. Sue
In a division problem, the first thing you do is put the decimal in the quotient directly above the decimal in the dividend.

Your answer of 0.701 is correct.

Answered by PsyDAG
Since the divisor is a whole number, you don't need to change the decimal place.
