The first step is to Multiply The next step is to Divide.

Ok so if you were wondering what to do on the box that says this

Move Decimal

Divide

Multiply

Subtract

Bring down

On this, I agree with myself. The solution is straightforward. Simply click them in the sequence listed, beginning with the first and ending with the last. Wow, what sleuthing I did. I realize it's not much, but I was perplexed by this as well, so you could be as well. So here we go with the actual answer. To tackle these sorts of issues, you must employ a technique known as PEMDAS, which stands for.

Parenthisis

Exponent

Multiply

Divide

Add Subtract

I realize I spelt the first one incorrectly, but it's 2 a.m. and I'm doing homework for you. Now we must consider whether or not this has any parenthesis. This particular issue does not. Now we must determine whether or not this issue has exponents, which it does. As mentioned in the response box on the lesson's main page. So we have to consider that (spelled incorrectly, but who cares, it's math class)Now we multiply by a power of ten, so the divisor is a whole number. The following step is to divide by calculating how many times 25 equals 105. I realize it was stolen from the question, but whatever. So there was the explanation; I realize I didn't answer the entire problem, but I didn't have to; it wasn't in the cards.
