Question

directions: use this information to answer parts a, b, and c. susan divided 38.08 by 23.80. part a write an expression with a whole - number divisor to solve the problem. enter the correct dividend and divisor. show hints

Explanation:

Step1: Recall decimal division rule

To make the divisor a whole number, multiply both dividend and divisor by 100 (since 23.80 has two decimal places).

Step2: Apply the rule

Multiply 38.08 by 100: \(38.08\times100 = 3808\)
Multiply 23.80 by 100: \(23.80\times100 = 2380\)
So the expression is \(\frac{3808}{2380}\)

Answer:

The expression with a whole - number divisor is \(\frac{3808}{2380}\) (dividend is 3808, divisor is 2380)
