Question

How to do 6.65 divided by 0.7 in long division​

Answer 1

9.5

Explanation:

You can move a decimal place to the right of the divisor as long as you also do it with the dividend. In that case, seven goes into 66 nine times, and then seven goes five times into thirty-five.

Answer 2

Change the divisor 6.65 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 2 places to the right.

We then have the equations:

70 ÷ 665 = 0.105

and therefore:

0.7 ÷ 6.65 = 0.105
