To find the product of $1.39 and 100, Justin can use the knowledge that 100 is \(10^2\). When multiplying by 100, he needs to move the decimal point in the number 1.39 two places to the right (since multiplying by 100 is the same as multiplying by \(10^2\)).
Therefore, the correct response is:
He knows that 100 is 10 to the power of 2, so he needs to move the decimal point in 1.39 two places to the right.
