Question

What is 6.4 divided by 0.02?

Answer 1

6.4 divided by 0.02 is 320

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to divide 6.4 by 0.02

First, consider the following:

`\begin{gathered} 6.4=(64)/(10) \\ \\ 0.02=(2)/(100) \end{gathered}`

With these, we can say:

`(6.4)/(0.02)=(((64)/(10)))/(((2)/(100)))`

Which is the same as:

`\begin{gathered} (64)/(10)*(100)/(2) \\ \\ =(64*10)/(2) \\ \\ =32*10 \\ =320 \end{gathered}`

So, 6.4 divided by 0.02 is 320

OR

6.4 divided by 0.02

Move the decimal point in 6.4 two places forward to have 640

Move the decimal point two places forward to have 2

So, 6.4 divide by 0.02 is equal to 640 divided by 2.

640/2 = 320
