You want to move the decimal place a certain number of times to the left until you get just the 2 in front of the decimal How many times did I have to move the decimal to the left? |dw:1614030499093:dw|

noobpro78:

3

Angle:

ok after I moved the decimal over, what is my new number?

noobpro78:

23?

Angle:

well I moved the decimal so that it's between the 2 and the 3 right? so that'd be a 2.3

Angle:

ok so because we moved the decimal 3 times to the left the little number next to the 10 is going to be 3
