We have to divide 0.08 by 4.96.
As both are decimals, we will multiply the numerator, 0.08, by tens until it becomes a whole number.
In this case, we have to multiply it 2 times:
![0.08\cdot10\cdot10=0.8\cdot10=8](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/95vvoe6qv22sk1r75zvatls2ozppx2ipv7.png)
Now we have to multiply the denominator the same amount of times (2):
![4.96\cdot10\cdot10=49.60\cdot10=496](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/8mtow22nz2fc4hw66jqzivl0liwz1il2fi.png)
Then, we have:
![(0.08)/(4.96)=(8)/(496)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/rthabgglxcnuw5ksothp6sshoaeo4047mi.png)
Now we can write the division as:
Answer: Calculated to 3 decimal places, 0.08/4.96 = 0.016.
