Because we perform something like common factor, so this guarantee that corresponding digits have regarding coefficients have the same place value. Remember that a number written in scientific notation is given by the product of a number between 1 and 10 and another number that is power of 10. For example, let's write two examples about this:
Addition:

Addition:

Subtraction:

1 and a half gallons is 24 one cup servings
1 gallon=16 cups
1/2gallon=8cups
8+16=24
300 40
------ = -------
x 100
30000=40x
x=750.
The original price was $750
$864 all you had to do was multiply 216 by 4 and 380 by 4 to get 1520 and 656 subtract that to get 864
