Move the decimal point to the left or right.

If you move it left, then multiply it by 10^h,

h being the number of times you moved the decimal point.

If you move it right, then multiply it by 10^-h,

h once again being the number of times you moved the decimal point.

Keep in mind that the resulting number must be 1 digit number with 2 decimal points, and no more.

Comment back in the answer column if you need more explanation.
