For question 5

3 . 2 3

* 0. 4 5

_________

1 6 . 1 5

1 29 . 2 0

0 0 0. 0 0

________

1 4 5. 3 5

________

We shall then move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

Hence, we have

1.4535

To check (question 6), we divide our result obtained in question 5 by 3.23


(1.4535)/(3.23)
\begin{gathered} (1.4535)/(3.23)=\text{ }(14535)/(10000)\text{ }(.)/(.)\text{ }(323)/(100) \\ \\ (14535)/(10000)\text{ }*\text{ }(100)/(323) \\ \\ (14535)/(32300)\text{ = }\frac{14535\text{ / 5}}{32300\text{ / 5}}\text{ = }(2907)/(6460)=\text{ }\frac{2907\text{ / 323}}{6460\text{ / 323}}\text{ = }(9)/(20)=\text{ 0.45} \\ \\ \text{ } \end{gathered}
