Question

How do we divide 7/20

Answer 1

Answer: 7/20 = 0.35

Explanations:

The given expression is 7/20

You know that 7 is lesser than 20 and it cannot be divided by 20. You first write 0, add a point, then do 70/20. This can be shown mathematically as:

`\begin{gathered} (7)/(20)=\text{ 0.} \\ To\text{ know what will you will write after the point join 0 to 7 and do:} \\ (70)/(20)=\text{ 3 remainder 10.} \\ \text{ } \end{gathered}`

Join 0 to the remainder, 10. It becomes:

`(100)/(20)=\text{ 5}`

Note that in the first division, you got 0., then you got 3, then you got 5. Combine these three together, you will get:

`(7)/(20)=\text{ 0.35}`
