Answer 6

okay you know how you have to move the decimals ? so on 2.96 i move decimal twice and it looks like this 294.0 right?

Answer 7

i mean 296.0

Answer 8

YES! You're on the right track. you moved the decimal of numerator twice on the right, so you will also move the decimal of denominator twice on the right.

Answer 9

yes i did that to i go 1.332 right?

Answer 10

Yes. Now you have to remove the decimal from the denominator, so you'll do teh same thing which you did above.

Answer 11

like when you said remove it do you mean by removing the decimal completely ? or?

yes, completely.

Answer 13

296.00

Answer 16

\[\frac{2.94}{0.01332 } \to \frac{294}{1.332}\to \frac{294000}{1332}\]

Answer 17

but i dont really have to include al those 000 at the end right?

Answer 18

You have to, because when the second time you move the decimal in the bottom, you have to move the move the decimal in the numerator too
