Question

Happy New Year!!

OK, what is 145÷7.25, and can you also show your work please? I am having a hard time but i understand numbers.

Answer 1

145÷7.25 = 20

Explanation:

This is a simple division of numbers with decimals.

Here we have dividend ( the number to be divided) (or numerator) = 145

and divisor (the number which divides dividend) (or denominator)= 7.25

Now, in case of decimals in denominator, we add number of zeroes in numerator equal to number of digits after decimal point in denominator, and thus the decimal point gets removed. So, this gives us 14500÷725, which by simple calculation is equal to 20.
