To solve the division [tex]\( \frac{19}{100} \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Understand that dividing a number by 100 effectively moves its decimal point two places to the left. This is because [tex]\( 100 = 10^2 \)[/tex].
2. Start with the number 19. Remember that 19 can be written as 19.0, where the decimal point is implicitly at the end of the number.
3. Move the decimal point two places to the left:
- Moving one place to the left changes 19.0 to 1.90.
- Moving a second place to the left changes it to 0.19.
Therefore, [tex]\( \frac{19}{100} = 0.19 \)[/tex].
So, [tex]\( 19 / 100 = 0.19 \)[/tex].
