To divide 166.4 by 0.52, we need to move the decimal point in the dividend (166.4) to the right to align it with the decimal point in the divisor (0.52).
Since there are two digits after the decimal point in the divisor (0.52), we need to move the decimal point two places to the right in the dividend.
So, the answer is 2 places.
To determine the number of places the decimal must be moved in the dividend for the problem 166.4 ÷ 0.52, you need to consider the divisor, which is 0.52.
1. Count the number of decimal places in the divisor. In this case, there are two decimal places.
2. Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places as the decimal places in the divisor (0.52).
So the correct answer is 2 places.
