Question

Is the quotient you get when you divide $550 and $.81 by 70 closer to $.80 eight dollars or $80

Answer 1

When you divide 550.81 by 70, the answer you get is 7.87. Then we can find the difference between 7.87 and each number to find which is close

80-7.87=72.13

7.87-0.8=7.07

8-7.87=0.13 (Since this difference is the smallest, the answer is $8)

Hope this helps!
