Question

5.51 divided by 0.20

Answer 1

we must first convert the decimals into integers. We can do this by multiplying by 100/100

That is

`(5.51)/(0.20)=(5.51)/(0.20)\cdot(100)/(100)`

it yields

`(5.51)/(0.20)=(551)/(20)`

and now, we can apply the long division algorithm:

and the result is 27.55
