Answer:
Explanation:
To divide 18 by 5.5, we can use long division method as follows:
_________
5.5 | 18.0000
-16.5
------
1.5
We first divide 5.5 into the first digit of 18, which is 1. This gives us 0 as the whole number part of the quotient. We then multiply 0 by 5.5 to get 0, and subtract it from 1, which gives us 1.
We then bring down the next digit 0 and get 10. We then divide 5.5 into 15, which gives us 2 as the whole number part of the quotient. We then multiply 2 by 5.5 to get 11, and subtract it from 15, which gives us 4.
We then bring down the next digit 0 and get 40. We then divide 5.5 into 40, which gives us 7 as the whole number part of the quotient. We then multiply 7 by 5.5 to get 38.5, and subtract it from 40, which gives us 1.5.
Since there are no more digits to bring down and the remainder is less than the divisor 5.5, we can stop here. Therefore, the result of 18 divided by 5.5 is approximately 3.27, which we get from the quotient of 0.327 rounded to two decimal places.
So 18 divided by 5.5 is approximately 3.27 or 3.27 to two decimal places.
