Step By Step Answer

First, to make the quotient of 3.5 ÷ 0.7 into a fraction, we need to solve it. We can solve 3.5 ÷ 0.7 in two ways. We can make both decimals into fractions, or solve it how it is and convert the answer into a fraction. I will do both ways to help you.

Dividing Fractions

First, if we want to divide the decimals with fractions, we must convert the decimals into fractions.

3.5 =
`(35)/(10)`

0.7 =
`(7)/(10)`

Now that we have the decimals converted into fractions, we can now divide them by using the Keep Switch Flip method! KSF is when you keep the first fraction, switch the division symbol into multiplication symbol, and get the reciprocal of the other fraction.

Using this method, the equation is now
`(35)/(10)` ×
`(10)/(7)`.

35 × 10 = 350

10 × 7 = 70

`(350)/(70)` can be reduced. 70 × 5 = 350 so the answer is
`(5)/(1)`, or 5.
