Question

Hey I need help with the question what is 88,000÷66,000

Answer 1

Since 88,000 and 66,000 are both divisible by 1000 and:

`\begin{gathered} (88,000)/(1,000)=88 \\ (66,000)/(1,000)=66 \end{gathered}`

We can just divide 88 by 66 and get the same quotient. Therefore:

`(88,000)/(66,000)=(88)/(66)=(4)/(3)=1.3333`

So, the answer is 4/3 or 1.3333
