a. Changing 0.25 to 25 moves the decimal 2 places to the right, and changing 0.044 to 44 moves the decimal 3 places to the right, so once we solve 25 x 44, we have to move the decimal a total of 5 places to the left.
25 x 44 = 1100, then move the decimal 5 places to the left to get 0.01100...but we don't add the zeros at the end.
