Final Answer:
34 ÷ 5 = 6.8
──────────────────────────────────────
Explanation:
Let’s solve 34 ÷ 5 step by step.
Step 1: Ask yourself — how many times does 5 go into 34 without going over?
5 × 6 = 30 → That’s the closest without going over 34.
Step 2: Subtract 30 from 34 → 34 – 30 = 4.
We have 4 left over. That’s our remainder.
Step 3: Since we need the answer with decimals, we add a decimal point and a zero to the 34 → now it’s 34.0.
Step 4: Bring down the 0 → now we have 40.
Step 5: How many times does 5 go into 40?
5 × 8 = 40 → Perfect!
Step 6: Put the 8 after the decimal point. So our answer is 6.8.
That’s it! 34 ÷ 5 = 6.8.
