I can explain how the value of a digit changes when it moves to a different place in a decimal number.

1
The rightmost space is the ones place, and moving one space to the left makes it the tens place.
2
When moving from hundreds to tens, you divide by ten, and when moving from tens to ones, you divide by ten.
3
To the right of the decimal are the tenths, hundredths, and thousandths places.
