Question

5.51 divided by 0.20

Answer 1

we must first convert the decimals into integers. We can do this by multiplying by 100/100

That is

$\frac{5.51}{0.20}=\frac{5.51}{0.20}\cdot\frac{100}{100}$

it yields

$\frac{5.51}{0.20}=\frac{551}{20}$

and now, we can apply the long division algorithm:

and the result is 27.55
