Hi I just have a question how do you divide 18/32 with out a calculator.

If I divide it in a piece of paper it comes out a different answer that is not correct the one that is correct is the one that comes out in the calculator 18/32= 0.5625

so i need to know how to divide 18/32 without a calculator because in my test calculators are not allowed thank you .

Try cross multiplying and then simplifying the answer

first set it up like this:
32 √(18)
then add a zero on to the 18 and a decimal point like this:
32 √(18.0)
then solve for 180/32 and add a decimal in the same location that it is in the 18.0 Hope this helps!
