\n" ); document.write( "You need to move the decimal point to the right until
\n" ); document.write( "you get \"1.6\"
\n" ); document.write( "Each time you move it one place to the right, you are
\n" ); document.write( "actually multiplying the number by \"10\", so every
\n" ); document.write( "time you do this, you've got to multiply by \"1%2F10\"
\n" ); document.write( "to cancel the effect
