Question

two point four divided by eighty is my question

Answer 1

To do the division:

$\frac{2.4}{80}$

eliminating the decimals we can multiply both numbers by ten then we have:

$\frac{2.4}{80}\cdot\frac{10}{10}=\frac{24}{800}$

Now we reduced the fraction to its simplest form:

$\frac{24}{800}=\frac{6}{200}=\frac{3}{100}$

Hence the division is equivalent to:

$\frac{3}{100}$

But we know that if we divided any number by a multiple of 10 the answer is the numerator put in the corresponding decimal place that the denominator tells us; in this case the hundreth place; therefore the answer is:

$0.03$
