When moving from a larger unit to a smaller unit, how should the decimal be adjusted?

  1. 1 place to the right

  2. 2 places to the right

  3. 3 places to the right

  4. No adjustment needed

The correct answer is: 3 places to the right

When moving from a larger unit to a smaller unit, such as from a larger metric unit to a smaller metric unit, the decimal point should be adjusted to the right. This is because you are going from a bigger unit to a smaller unit, which means you will need to represent the same value using a larger number of smaller units. In this case, the decimal point needs to be adjusted three places to the right as indicated in option C. This adjustment ensures the correct conversion and representation of the value in the smaller unit.
