Answer:

Explanation:

To show your work for 2 divided by 8, you can write:

2 ÷ 8

Then, you can perform the division by long division or by simplifying the fraction.
We start by dividing 2 by 8, which gives us 0.25 as the quotient. We write this above the division symbol. Then, we multiply the divisor (8) by the quotient (0.25) to get the product 2. We write this below the dividend (2.00) and subtract to get the remainder 0. We bring down the next digit (0) to get 0.0 as the new dividend. We repeat the process of dividing, multiplying, and subtracting until we get a remainder of 0.

Therefore, two divided by eight is equal to 0.25.
