Question

Select yes or no to indicate whether a zero must be written in the dividend to find the quotient

5.2 divided by 8
3.63 divided by 3
71.1 divided by 9
2.25 divided by 0.6

Answer 1

2.25 divided by 0.6 : Yes and 5.2 divided by 8, 3.63 divided by 3, 71.1 divided by 9 : No

Explanation:

We have that when two numbers are divided, they can be written in the form
`(p)/(q)`, where p is the dividend and q is the divisor.

Now, when we divide 5.2 by 8, we can write
`(5.2)/(8)`

Also, the division 3.63 by 3, can be written as
`(3.63)/(3)` = 1.21

Further, when we divide 71.1 by 3, we can write
`(71.1)/(3)` = 23.7

We can see that above divisions are easy divisions and do not require to write any type of 0 in the numerator.

Moreover, when we divide 2.25 by 0.6, we can write
`(2.25)/(0.6)` =
`(2.25* 10)/(6)`.

So, we get that in the last division, we need to write a zero in order to multiply the numerator with 10 for easy division.

Hence, 2.25 divided by 0.6 : Yes and 5.2 divided by 8, 3.63 divided by 3, 71.1 divided by 9 : No
