Question

How do you get 2.5 out of 20/8

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can't operate a calculator, perhaps you can do long division. The attachment shows the work for that.

__

`(20)/(8)=(5\cdot4)/(2\cdot4)=(5)/(2)\\\\=(5\cdot5)/(2\cdot5)=(25)/(10)=2.5`

We assume that you know dividing by 10 moves the decimal point one place left.
