Answer:

0.857

Explanation:

----------------

7 | 6

7 goes 0 times into 6, so we write a 0.

0.

----------------

7 | 6.0

Add .0 to 6 to get 6.0

7 goes 8 times into 60.

8 × 7 = 56

0.8

----------------

7 | 6.0

- 5.6

------------

60 - 56 = 4

Write another 0, 6.00, and bring down a zero.

0.8

----------------

7 | 6.00

- 5.6

------------

40

7 goes 5 times into 40.

0.85

----------------

7 | 6.00

- 5.6

------------

40

- 35

---------

40 - 35 = 5

Add another 0 to 6.00 to get 6.000; bring down that zero.

Now you have 50.

7 | 6.000

- 5.6

------------

40

- 35

---------

50

7 goes 7 times into 50.

7 × 7 = 49

Add a zero, bring down a zero,

0.857

----------------

7 | 6.0000

- 5.6

------------

40

- 35
