Question

Hhelpppp! plz show me how to do it

Answer 1

0.625

Explanation:

Long division:

`\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}&0&.&6&2&5\\&-&-&_(5) \ -}&_(2) \ -&_(4) \ -\\8 |&5&.&0&0&0&\end{array}\right]`

You write the denominator first, which is the number beneath and the number being divided by;

You can then put a vertical line to the right of this;

Then the numerator goes after the vertical line, i.e. the number above and the number being divided;

As you can see above, this looks like:
8 | 5

Now, quite simply ask how many 8s go into 5;

The answer is 0;

8 × 1 = 8, which is greater than 5;

The 5 is shifted to the next number;

This would be 0 after the decimal point;

The number becomes 50;

Once again, how many 8s go into 50;

8 × 6 = 48

So, we write 6 above the 0;

There is a remainder of 2, since 50 - 48 = 2;

The 2 is shifted to the next number;

This would also be 0;

The number becomes 20;

How many 8s go into 20;

8 × 2 = 16

So, 2 goes above this 0;

The remainder is 4, 20 - 16 = 4;

This 4 is shifted to the next number:

This too is a 0;

The number is 40;

Once again, how many 8s go into 40;

8 × 5 = 40

So, 5 goes above this 0;

There is no remainder so the division is completed;

The answer is the number above:

0.625

This method applies to any division and is very useful and yet simple.

Answer 2

0.625

Explanation:

Divide the top number by the bottom; 5 divided by 8.
