About Decimal Point Shift Worksheet
Built around the unit "moving the decimal point changes the size of a number": 3.25 × 100 = 325, 32.5 ÷ 1000 = 0.0325. Switch to the reverse form (____ × 100 = 325, the underscore is as long as the answer) or to plain wording ("3.25 → 2 places right"). Every value is produced with integer arithmetic, so nothing like 0.1 × 3 = 0.30000000000000004 can appear.

FAQ
What happens when there are not enough digits?
Zeros are added on the left when the point moves past the digits — 0.8 ÷ 100 = 0.008. Answers are never printed as ".008".
Why are the printed dimensions wrong?
If your print dialogue has "Fit to page" enabled or scaling below 100%, the whole grid is scaled down. Set scaling to 100% / "Actual size", and tick the calibration ruler in the generator, then measure the 5 cm mark with a ruler. PDF dimensions are locked in the file, so they are the safest option.
Does anything I type or upload get sent to a server?
No. Generation, preview and export all happen inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
