When you divide any number by a smaller number, it gets bigger.
a decimal ( less than 1) is smallerthan a whole number
Say you have 1/0.1 that is the same as 1/ one tenth which is 1 x 10 = 10 ( invert the 1/10 and multiply)
Say you have 1/0.01 that is the same as 1/ one hundredth which is 1 x 100 = 100 ( invert the 1/100 and multiply)
