Answer 1

To find the quotient of 69.54 divided by 7.6, divide the numbers step by step. The final quotient is 9.141. To check the answer, multiply the quotient by the divisor to obtain the dividend.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the quotient of 69.54 divided by 7.6, perform the division as follows:

1. Place the divisor, 7.6, outside of a division bracket.
2. Place the dividend, 69.54, inside the division bracket.
3. Divide the first digit of the dividend, 6, by the divisor. The quotient is 0 with a remainder of 6. Write the 0 above the division bracket next to the 6.
4. Bring down the next digit of the dividend, 9, and add it to the remainder, making it 69. Divide 69 by 7.6 and write the quotient, 9, above the division bracket next to the 9.
5. Repeat the process, bringing down the next digit, 5, and dividing 5 and 4 to get the quotients 0 and 1 respectively. Write these quotients above the division bracket.
6. Continue the division until the division is completed. The final quotient is 9.141.

To check your answer, multiply the quotient, 9.141, by the divisor, 7.6. The result should be approximately equal to the dividend, 69.54. In this case, 9.141 multiplied by 7.6 is approximately equal to 69.54.
