Answer 1

Answer: 6.08571

Step-by-step explanation:

The decimal point in the quotient should be placed after the first digit, so that the quotient is 6.08571. This is because the dividend has one decimal place and the divisor has no decimal places, so the quotient should have the same number of decimal places as the dividend. To check the answer, we can multiply the quotient by the divisor and see if we get the dividend:

6.08571 x 7 = 42.59997

This is very close to 42.6, so the answer is correct.
