Answer:
12.08
Explanation:
After setting up your equation (217.44/18) you first need to figure out how many times 18 can go into 21 (because 18 cannot go into 2 so it needs to be roped with the 1). After finding this answer, 1, you would have a remainder of 3, this is brought down along with the 7 to give you 37. You now need to find how many times 18 goes into 37, this answer is 2 and your remainder is 1. (At this point you are working in the decimals so make sure to put a decimal in the correct spot). The new number you have after bringing down the 4 is 14. 18 cannot go into 14 so you need to put a zero in the tenths place. You now need to bring down the other 4 and merge it with the existing 14 to give you 144. after dividing 144 by 18 you have 8. Put this 8 in the hundredths place and you have your answer of 12.08.
