Divide
each given numbers

=> 75 / 10

=> 7.5 (7 ones . 5 tenths)

=> 75 / 100

=> .75 (. 7 tenths and 5 hundredths)

=> 75 / 1 000

=> .075 (. 0 tenths, 7 hundredths and 5 thousandths.)

As the place value of the divisor gets larger the decimal point moves to the
right and the value of the quotient gets smaller and smaller.

If we do the opposite, the same thing will happen as the multiplier gets larger
the product gets bigger.
