Lina it is not nice to call other people "dumbys" (dummies) you are the one who is wrong you can multiply 0.25 and 1,000 =250 after you can divide 250 and divided by 1.5 which the answer is 166.66666 and so on and on. Lina not trying to be mean but ON YOUR FACE LINA YOU DUMMY!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 this felt good
