Question

Find the quotient and enter your answer in the space provided. 0.7809/0.19 = ________

Answer 1

4.11

Explanation:

`0.7809/0.19`
Multiply both sides by 100:

`0.7809/0.19=78.09/19`

`78.09/19`

In order to divide you find how many times 19 can go into 78 and then subtract. So if 19 can go into 78, 4 times then subtract 78 by 76 since 19 times 4 = 76.

You continue dividing and once you are no longer capable of substracting you are given a remainder. (make sure to bring your decimal point straight up when solving)

Dividing 78.09 by 19 will give you 4.11 with no remainder.

I hope this helps.
