You have to move the decimal places to the right as many times as you need in order to make the number a while number you move the decimal place the same times as you did to the number outside the box which makes is 8 divided by 27 8 can’t go into 2 so u add a 0 and 8 can go into 27 3 times. You add a decimal point and subtract 24 from 27 u get 3 then you add a decimal point with a 0 8 can go into 30 3 times so it’s 6 add a decimal point to make it 60. Then 8 can go into 60 7 times subtract 56 from 60 and you get 4 add a decimal point and you get 40 8 can go into 40 5 times and your answer is 3.375

I added picture so u can see how it looks when you do it.

Answer: 3 and 3/8 or 27/8

First step, you will need to move the decimal to the side by 1 place value.

0.8 --> 8. and 2.7--> 27.

Then just do your normal dividing.

27/8 = 3 and 3/8

The answer to 2.7÷0.8 can be either a mixed number or an improper fraction.
