Question

(c) 63 divided by 3 = 21 , Show how you use this to work out 0.63 divided by 0.3.

Answer 1

2.1.

Explanation:

63/3 = 21

0.63 = 63 / 100

and 0.3 = 3 / 10

so 0.63/0.3 = 63 /100 / 3/10 = 63/100 * 10/3

= 63/3 / 10

So the answer is 21 / 10 = 2.1.

Answer 2

0.63 ÷ 0.3 = 63 x 10^-2 ÷ 3 x 10^-1 = 63 / 3 x 10^(-2--1) = 21 x 10^-1 = 2.1
