Before i worry about practicing that skill and getting rid of my decimals, sometimes we want to be thoughtful in what we do.
00:12
If i multiply this by 100 to get rid of this decimal and have 20, i already have all sorts of zeros in with 14 ,000.
00:23
Those zeros will also move my decimal.
00:27
So every zero will move my decimal one place.
00:31
So let's go ahead and shorten this to 20 times 140, which is 2 ,800.
00:43
Let's see if that's a little bit easier to deal with.
00:48
So i haven't done anything to change anything else yet.
00:54
And i'm not going to distribute this because i don't want to have that much multiplication to do.
01:01
Although i could distribute it since i again have a 14 ,000 over here.
01:08
So now i'm going to multiply everything on both sides by 100 to make this decimal and this decimal go away.
01:19
Again, this is 1 ,400s, 1800s.
01:24
So that's what i need to multiply by if i want the decimal to disappear.
01:30
So i need to multiply everything.
01:32
So that's going to be to, 280 ,000 plus 14x equals this is going to become 18...
