When dividing a decimal by a power of 10, the quotient **decreases**.
This is because dividing by a power of 10 (e.g., 10, 100, 1000, etc.) shifts the decimal point to the left. For example:
- \( 5.4 \div 10 = 0.54 \)
- \( 5.4 \div 100 = 0.054 \)
In both cases, the result is smaller than the original decimal.
