Question

Divide the following 3.22 ÷ 0.46

Answer 1

To divide 3.22 by 0.46, we use long division and the quotient is approximately 6.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide 3.22 by 0.46, we can use long division.

First, we divide the first digit of the dividend (3) by the divisor (0.46). The result is 6.52. We write 6 above the division sign.

We then multiply 0.46 by 6. The result is 2.76. We subtract 2.76 from 3.22 to get 0.46. We bring down the next digit (2) and repeat the process.

We divide 2 by 0.46, getting 4.34. We write 4 above the division sign. We multiply 0.46 by 4, getting 1.84. Subtracting 1.84 from 2 gives us 0.16.

Finally, we bring down the last digit (2) and divide 2 by 0.46, getting 4.34. We write 4 above the division sign. We multiply 0.46 by 4, getting 1.84. Subtracting 1.84 from 2 gives us 0.16.

Therefore, 3.22 divided by 0.46 is approximately 6.52.
