Question

how many times does 5 go into 9?
1 time(s), with a remainder of 4
there are no more digits in the dividend to bring down. how can you continue dividing?
write a 0 in the? place of the dividend.
ones
tenths
hundredths
thousandths

Explanation:

When dividing and there are no more digits in the dividend to bring down, to continue dividing (to get a decimal quotient), we add a 0 in the tenths place of the dividend. This is because after the ones place (where we had 9 initially, and did 9 ÷ 5 = 1 with remainder 4), the next place for decimal division is the tenths place. Adding a 0 there makes the remainder 4 into 40 (4.0), allowing us to continue dividing (40 ÷ 5 = 8, so the quotient becomes 1.8). The other options (ones, hundredths, thousandths) don't fit here: ones place already has no more digits to bring down, hundredths and thousandths would be after tenths and not the first step to continue division here.

Answer:

tenths
