3. Move the decimal point 3 places to the right (add three zeros).

   Example:1

1. The 2-digit number chosen to multiply by 125 is 34.
2. Divide by 8: 34/8 = 4.25
3. Move the decimal point 3 places to the right: 4250
4. So 125 × 34 = 4,250.

   Example:2

1. The 2-digit number chosen to multiply by 125 is 78.
2. Divide by 8: 78/8 = 9.75
3. Move the decimal point 3 places to the right: 9750
4. So 125 × 78 = 9,750.
