Question

Can anyone please help me solve and show work for 0.7 ÷ 4 = ?

Answer 1

Move the decimal places of both numbers to the right by one, then divide normally.

Answer 2

For this case we have a division with decimals:

0.7 ÷ 4

This can be rewritten as:

`((7)/(10))/(4)`

By definition, we have the following:

`((a)/(b))/(c)=`

`((a)/(b))/((c)/(1))=`

`((a * 1))/((b * c))=`

`(a)/((b * c))`

So,

`((7)/(10))/(4)=`

`((7)/(10))/((4)/(1))=`

`((7 * 1))/((10 * 4))=`

`(7)/(40)= 0.175`

Answer:

`(7)/(40)= 0.175`
