Answer:

Step 1: Move the decimal point to the left until you have a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.

Step 2: Count the number of decimal places you moved the decimal point to the left and use that number as the positive power of 10.

Step 3: Multiply the decimal (in Step 1) by the power of 10
