A bar over a sequence of digits in a decimal indicates that the sequence repeats indefinitely.
What is the value of (10^4 - 10^2)(0.0012)
Note: 12 has bar above.
A. 0
B. 0.12
C. 1.2
D. 10
E. 12

I'm very confused. Here I followed PEMDAS and did the following:
(10^4 - 10^2) = (10^2)
(10^2)(.0012) = .12, Answer B.
Why am I suppose to distribute .0012 to 10^4 and 10^2?
