Question

dividing decimals (a)
find each quotient.
$0.58 \overline{)0.5568}$ $0.2 \overline{)0.12}$ $0.7 \overline{)0.1995}$ $1.5 \overline{)1.2}$
$0.1 \overline{)0.0805}$ $0.6 \overline{)1.452}$ $0.5 \overline{)0.05}$ $3.64 \overline{)28.5376}$
$1.92 \overline{)1.152}$ $0.3 \overline{)0.24}$ $0.9 \overline{)0.801}$ $0.59 \overline{)0.295}$

Explanation:

1. \(0.58\enclose{longdiv}{0.5568}\)

Step1: Move decimals to make divisor whole

Multiply divisor and dividend by 100: \(58\enclose{longdiv}{55.68}\)

Step2: Divide as whole numbers

\(55.68\div58 = 0.96\)

Step1: Move decimals (multiply by 10)

\(2\enclose{longdiv}{1.2}\)

Step2: Divide

\(1.2\div2 = 0.6\)

Step1: Multiply by 10 to make divisor whole

\(7\enclose{longdiv}{1.995}\)

Step2: Divide

\(1.995\div7 = 0.285\)

Answer:

\(0.96\)

2. \(0.2\enclose{longdiv}{0.12}\)
