We have the following division:

189.42 ÷ 6

Let's recall how to divide decimals:

1. Multiply the divisor or the dividend by as many 10's as necessary until we get a whole number.

As we can see we have two decimals in the dividend (189.42), then we need to multiply the dividend and the divisor by 100, as follows:

(189.42 * 100 ) ÷ 6 * 100

2. Moving two places to the right the decimal point:

18,942 ÷ 600

31.57

3. The conclusion is that 189.42 ÷ 6 = 18,942 ÷ 600

And the answer to these two equations is the same = 31.57
