So the answer to  $600\div3$  is

• 2

• 2000

• 20

• 200

Now what if our equation had been:
 $600\div30=\ ?$  
How would our answer be different and why?

• It would be 20 because we have to subtract one zero from two zeroes.

• It would be 2 because we need to take away both of the zeros.

• It would be 2,000 because we need to add a zero.

• It would not change.
