Why can you just move the decimal point to find a solution when you multiply or divide by but not when you multiply or divide by a number that is not a power of 10?
This is because we use the decimal system which is based on the fact that the place value of any digit is ten times that of the digit to its right.

Do you multiply or divide to change millimeters to meters?
You divide the number of meters by 1000 to get distance in kilometers. You multiply the number of kilometers by 1000 to get the distance in meters. Generally, when converting from a large unit to a smaller one, you multiply. You divide when going from smaller to larger. However, conversion factors are often given that imply multiplication, no matter what direction you're going. For example, to convert from feet to inches, multiply by 12. To go from inches to feet, multiply by 0.0833 (which is 1/12, of course). In the metric system, it's more common: to go from kilometers to meters, multiply by 1000; to go from meters to kilometers, multiply by 0.001. Those who are good at math understand that multiplying by a fraction (a value less than one) is the same as dividing by its reciprocal.
