Question

1. 4.7 ÷ 2

Explanation:

Step1: Divide the integer part

Divide 4 (the integer part of 4.7) by 2. Since \(4\div2 = 2\), we write 2 above the decimal point in the quotient.

Step2: Bring down the decimal and the next digit

Bring down the decimal point and the digit 7, making it 0.7 (but we consider it as 7 tenths). Now we have to divide 7 by 2.

Step3: Divide 7 by 2

\(7\div2 = 3\) with a remainder of 1. We write 3 after the decimal point in the quotient.

Step4: Add a zero and continue dividing

Since there is a remainder, we add a zero to make it 10 (1 tenth becomes 10 hundredths). Now divide 10 by 2. \(10\div2=5\), so we write 5 in the quotient.

Putting it all together, \(4.7\div2 = 2.35\)

Answer:

\(2.35\)
