Question

I need help on 207.4÷61

Answer 1

`(207.4)/(61)=3.4`

Let us solve it step by step.

First, we must multiply this fraction by 10 and divide by 10 as

`\begin{gathered} (207.4)/(61)\cdot((10)/(10))=(207.4\cdot10)/(61\cdot10)=(2074)/(610) \\ \text{thats was possible because 10 divided by 10 is equal to 1.} \end{gathered}`

and now, we can make the division:

Let us compute this division:

In this step, we found a number such that this number multiplied by 610 is close to 2074. This number was 3.

Now, we must continue in the same way: we must find a number such that this number multiplied by 610 is close to 244. However, we must put a dot because we are in the decimal places:

The number which fulfill the above condition was 4.

Hence, 2074 divided by 610 is equal to 3.4
