To achieve this in this problem, you need to move the decimal point 3 times to the right.
because you are moving the point to the right, the exponent will be negative.
*rule of thumb: moving the decimal to the left will give you a positive exponent, moving to the right will give you a negative exponent*
therefore you answer should be written as:

A proportion looks like this:
It means that the quantity a,b,c and d are in the same proportion: the ratio between a and b is the same ratio between c and d.
They are particularly useful in situation when you have an example given, and you want to extrapolate the relationship for another couple.
For example, you can think of the following problem: "Five apples cost 2 dollars. How much will 8 apples cost?"
You can build the proportion
And then solve it for x:
