Question

Use the model to complete the sentence 0.25 ÷ 5 = _______.

Answer 1

From the image below

`0.25=(25)/(100)`

Hence,

`\begin{gathered} 0.25/5 \\ =(25)/(100)/5 \end{gathered}`

Using the method of division below, we will have

`(a)/(b)/(c)/(d)=(a)/(b)*(c)/(d)=(ac)/(bd)`

Hence,

By applying the principle, we will have

`\begin{gathered} (25)/(100)/(5)/(1) \\ =(25)/(100)*(1)/(5) \\ =(5)/(100) \\ =0.05 \end{gathered}`

Hence,

The complete statement is

`0.25/5=0.05`
