well if you know, the decimal point for the 1 inside goes straight up (but also, the one outside, you have to move the decimal over to the right until it is a whole number and do the same for the 1 inside except you do it the amount of spaces you had to move for the one out side. then divide the rest.

Well you move the decimal one 42.5 to make it a whole number. You moved it one place, now you do the same on .85 to make it 8.5. Then bring decimal up. You add zeroes when needed.
