Answer 1

Answer:

The first step is to multiply by a power of 10, so the divisor is a whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The first step is to Multiply  The next step is to Divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so if you were wondering what to do on the box that says this

• Move Decimal
• Divide
• Multiply
• Subtract
• Bring down

Like my self on this. The answer is simple. Just click them in order from first to last. Wow such detective work I did. I know, it's not much but I was kind of confused on this as well so you might be too. So to explain the actual answer here we go. Now in order to solve these types of problems you have to use a technique called PEMDAS which stands for.

• Parenthisis
• Exponent
• Multiply
• Divide
• Add Subtract

I know I spelled the first one  wrong but its 2 am and I'm doing school for you. Now we have to take into account, does this have any parentheses. This certain problem does not. Now we have to look to see if this problem has exponents, yes it does. As stated in the answer box on the lesson itself. So know we have to take that into concideration(spelled wrong but I dont care this is math class)Now we multiply by a power of 10, so the divisor is a whole number. The next step is to divide by figuring out how many times 25 goes into 105. I know that was copied from the question but oh well. So this was the explanation, I know I didn't solve the whole problem but I had no need to, it wasn't in the question.
