Cannot figure out how placing numbers in proper places works.. 915.477
I'm 71 years old and know how to use a Micrometer, and understand decimals. I am trying to find out what I missed in math/algebra that makes it difficult for me to process. Sooo I am starting from the very beginning to see what pops out as the rules etc. I haven't understood. Thank You...
