Explanation:

`\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numerator\:and\:denominator\:by:}\:1000`

`(5316)/(1942)`

`\mathrm{Write\:the\:problem\:in\:long\:division\:format}`

`\begin{matrix}1942\overline\smallspace5316\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\end{matrix}`

`\begin{matrix}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\emptyspace2.\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ 1942\overline\smallspace5316.0\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\underline{\emptyspace3\emptyspace8\emptyspace8\emptyspace4}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\emptyspace1\emptyspace4\emptyspace3\emptyspace2\emptyspace0\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\end{matrix}`

`=2.73738`

Hence, the correct answer is 2.73738

Answer 2

2.7 / 2 Remainder 7, view equation below

Explanation:

1. Place 5.3 as 53 to start off this problem.
2. Next, drop the 1 from the dividend.
3. Finally to finish off setting this up, drop the 6 from the dividend.
4. Now, determine how many times 1.942 goes into 5.316.
5. 2 times, write 2 at the top of your algorithm
6. Since the result of 1.942 is 3.884...
7. 3.884 - 5.316 = 1.432
8. Next, drop a 0 to the ten thousandths place.
9. Remove the thousandths place from 1.942.
10. How many times does 1.94 go into 2? 7 times. Write a decimal & 7.
11. Next step is 1.432 - 1.359 (our previous result) = 0.073

a way to finish this with the same answer:

flip 0.073 around, remove the 0's, and put it next to your 2.7 :)
