To explain how we know this using a place value chart, we can show the movement of the decimal point when multiplying by1,000.
In the number0.251, the place values are-2 is in the tenths place-5 is in the hundredths place-1 is in the thousandths placeWhen we multiply by1,000, each digit moves three places to the left-2 moves from the tenths place to the hundreds place-5 moves from the hundredths place to the tens place-1 moves from the thousandths place to the ones placeSo,0.251 becomes251 when multiplied by1,000.
