Answer: it is We then have the equations:

485 ÷ 5 = 97.000

and therefore:

48.5 ÷ 0.5 = 97.000

Both calculated to 3 decimal places.

Explanation:Change the divisor 0.5 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 1 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 1 places to the right.
