I’m stuck on this question

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

So you are moving the decimal to the right, right?

This action would make the number bigger.

For this explanation I will use the example 7.2

So lets move the decimal 3 to the right.

You get 7200.

Now try dividing 7200 by 100 = 72

This did not get us the original # 7.2

Now lets divide 7200 by 1000 = 7.2

Now that we got the original #, switch the operation and multiply 7.2 by 1000

7.2 x 1000 = 7200

Answer = multiplying the number by 1,000
