Question

find each quotient. use the
a. 688 ÷ 7 =

Explanation:

Step1: Perform division

We divide 688 by 7. 7 times 98 is 686 (since \(7\times98 = 686\)).

Step2: Find the remainder

Subtract 686 from 688: \(688 - 686 = 2\). So the quotient is 98 with a remainder of 2, or as a decimal \(98\frac{2}{7}\approx98.29\) (if we want the decimal form). But usually, for integer division quotient and remainder, it's \(98\) remainder \(2\), or as a mixed number \(98\frac{2}{7}\). If we consider the quotient as a decimal, we can calculate it as \(688\div7 = 98.2857\cdots\) (rounded as needed). But since the problem says "quotient", if we are doing integer division, the quotient is 98 and remainder 2. If we are doing decimal division, it's approximately 98.29 (or more precisely \(98.\overline{285714}\)).

Answer:

If we consider the quotient with remainder: \(98\) remainder \(2\) (or \(98\frac{2}{7}\) as a mixed number, or approximately \(98.29\) as a decimal). For the boxed answer (if we take the decimal approximation to two decimal places): \(\boxed{98.29}\) (or if we take the integer quotient with remainder, we can write \(98\) R \(2\), but the standard way for such problems might be the mixed number or decimal. If we do exact division, \(688\div7 = 98\frac{2}{7}\), so \(\boxed{98\frac{2}{7}}\) or \(\boxed{98.29}\) (rounded to two decimal places).
