Question

Explain how you can divide 6/8 by 0.25. Show the steps to your answer and reply to at least two other responses.

Answer 1

The result is 3.

Explanation:

One way is to convert the 0.25 to a fraction.

Thus 0.25 = 25/100 = 1/4.

Note 6/8 simplifies to 3/4, so we have the division:-

3/4 / 1/4

We invert the 1/4 and multiply:-

= 3/4 * 4/1

= 12/4

= 3 (answer).
