Question

Which of the following is the quotient of .4375 divided by .35

Answer 1

Quotient will be 1.25

Explanation:

First we convert decimal numbers to fractions. So write down the decimal divided by 1 and then multiply both top and bottom with 10 for every number after decimal point.

Here we found for .4375 =
`(4375)/(10000)`

and .35 =
`(35)/(100)`

Now we divide both the numbers as

=
`((4375)/(1000) )/((35)/(100) )`

=
`(4375)/(1000)` ×
`(100)/(35)`

=
`(125)/(100)`

= 1.25

Quotient will be 1.25
