Step-by-step solution for: Multiplying and dividing decimals by 10 and 100 (2) - Fraction and
To solve the problems involving dividing decimals, we will follow these steps:
1. Adjust the divisor to a whole number: Move the decimal point in the divisor to the right until it becomes a whole number.
2. Move the decimal point in the dividend: Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right as you did for the divisor.
3. Perform the division: Divide the adjusted numbers as if they were whole numbers.
4. Place the decimal point in the quotient: The decimal point in the quotient will be directly above the decimal point in the adjusted dividend.
Let's solve each problem step by step.
---
1. Adjust the divisor: Move the decimal point in \( 3.9 \) one place to the right to make it \( 39 \). Move the decimal point in \( 38.22 \) one place to the right to make it \( 382.2 \).
2. Perform the division: \( 39 \div 382.2 \).
- \( 39 \) goes into \( 382 \) approximately \( 9 \) times (since \( 39 \times 9 = 351 \)).
- Subtract \( 351 \) from \( 382 \) to get \( 31 \).
- Bring down the next digit \( 2 \) to make it \( 312 \).
- \( 39 \) goes into \( 312 \) approximately \( 8 \) times (since \( 39 \times 8 = 312 \)).
- Subtract \( 312 \) from \( 312 \) to get \( 0 \).
So, \( 39 \div 382.2 = 9.8 \).
Therefore, \( 3.9 \div 38.22 = 9.8 \).
---
1. Adjust the divisor: Move the decimal point in \( 7.6 \) one place to the right to make it \( 76 \). Move the decimal point in \( 34.2 \) one place to the right to make it \( 342 \).
2. Perform the division: \( 76 \div 342 \).
- \( 76 \) goes into \( 342 \) approximately \( 4 \) times (since \( 76 \times 4 = 304 \)).
- Subtract \( 304 \) from \( 342 \) to get \( 38 \).
So, \( 76 \div 342 = 4.5 \).
Therefore, \( 7.6 \div 34.2 = 4.5 \).
---
1. Adjust the divisor: Move the decimal point in \( 5.4 \) one place to the right to make it \( 54 \). Move the decimal point in \( 11.88 \) one place to the right to make it \( 118.8 \).
2. Perform the division: \( 54 \div 118.8 \).
- \( 54 \) goes into \( 118 \) approximately \( 2 \) times (since \( 54 \times 2 = 108 \)).
- Subtract \( 108 \) from \( 118 \) to get \( 10 \).
- Bring down the next digit \( 8 \) to make it \( 108 \).
- \( 54 \) goes into \( 108 \) exactly \( 2 \) times (since \( 54 \times 2 = 108 \)).
- Subtract \( 108 \) from \( 108 \) to get \( 0 \).
So, \( 54 \div 118.8 = 2.2 \).
Therefore, \( 5.4 \div 11.88 = 2.2 \).
---
1. Adjust the divisor: Move the decimal point in \( 9.3 \) one place to the right to make it \( 93 \). Move the decimal point in \( 58.59 \) one place to the right to make it \( 585.9 \).
2. Perform the division: \( 93 \div 585.9 \).
- \( 93 \) goes into \( 585 \) approximately \( 6 \) times (since \( 93 \times 6 = 558 \)).
- Subtract \( 558 \) from \( 585 \) to get \( 27 \).
- Bring down the next digit \( 9 \) to make it \( 279 \).
- \( 93 \) goes into \( 279 \) exactly \( 3 \) times (since \( 93 \times 3 = 279 \)).
- Subtract \( 279 \) from \( 279 \) to get \( 0 \).
So, \( 93 \div 585.9 = 6.3 \).
Therefore, \( 9.3 \div 58.59 = 6.3 \).
---

- Bring down the next digit \( 6 \) to make it \( 96 \).
- \( 16 \) goes into \( 96 \) exactly \( 6 \) times (since \( 16 \times 6 = 96 \)).
- Subtract \( 96 \) from \( 96 \) to get \( 0 \).
So, \( 16 \div 89.6 = 5.6 \).
Therefore, \( 1.6 \div 8.96 = 5.6 \).
---

- Bring down the next digit \( 8 \) to make it \( 368 \).
- \( 92 \) goes into \( 368 \) exactly \( 4 \) times (since \( 92 \times 4 = 368 \)).
- Subtract \( 368 \) from \( 368 \) to get \( 0 \).
So, \( 92 \div 772.8 = 8.4 \).
Therefore, \( 9.2 \div 77.28 = 8.4 \).
