By powers of ten I mean a 1 followed by some 0s. The scientific notation questions will take care of the power of ten notation.

Multiplying or dividing by a power of ten (such as a $1$ followed by some $0$s) moves the decimal point. Multiplying moves the decimal point to make the number bigger (that is, to the right). Dividing moves the decimal to make the number smaller (that is, to the left). The number of $0$s indicates the number of places you should move the decimal place.
