Question

What is the quotient of 8.7 and

0.6

Answer 1

14.5

Explanation:

Quotient is just division.

8.7/0.6

Since we're dividing by a decimal, the number goes up.

I like to divide by decimals in an easier way than long division: Fractions.

8.7 = 8 & 7/10 = 87/10

0.6 = 6/10

87 ÷ 6

10 10

KCF = Keep Change Flip

87 x 10 = 870

10 6 60

870/60 = 29/2 = 14.5

Proof:

8.7 ÷ 14.5 = 0.6
