Question

divide: $1.562 \div 0.11$
$14.21$ $1.42$
$14.2$ $24.2$

Explanation:

Step1: Eliminate decimal in divisor

Multiply dividend and divisor by 100:
$1.562 \times 100 = 156.2$, $0.11 \times 100 = 11$
Now calculate $156.2 \div 11$

Step2: Perform division

$11 \times 14 = 154$, subtract from 156.2: $156.2 - 154 = 2.2$
$11 \times 0.2 = 2.2$, so total quotient is $14 + 0.2 = 14.2$

Answer:

14.2
