Absolutely! Let’s solve each of these dividing decimals by whole numbers problems step by step. The key idea is to perform long division, keeping the decimal point in the quotient aligned with the decimal point in the dividend.

📌 General Rule:

When dividing a decimal by a whole number:
1. Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
2. Divide as you would with whole numbers.
3. Add zeros to the dividend if needed to continue dividing.

## ✔ Problem 2: 66.7 ÷ 9

```
7.411...
9 )66.700
63
---
37

1 → repeating
```

We can round to 3 decimal places: 7.411

But let's check exact value:

66.7 ÷ 9 = 667/90 = 7.411... (repeating)

✔ Answer: 7.411 (rounded to 3 decimal places)
*(Or 7.4\overline{1} if repeating decimal is preferred)*

## ✔ Problem 3: 0.467 ÷ 9

```
0.05188...
9 )0.46700
0
---
46
45

81 → too big, so 0? Wait — let’s do it carefully:

Actually:

0.05188...
9 )0.467000
0
---
46
45 → 5 × 9 = 45
---
17
9 → 1 × 9 = 9
---
80
72 → 8 × 9 = 72
---
80
72
---
8 → repeat

So: 0.051888... = 0.051\overline{8}

✔ Answer: 0.0519 (rounded to 4 decimal places)

80 → repeats

So: 11.02727... = 11.0\overline{27}

✔ Answer: 11.027 (rounded to 3 decimal places)

50 → repeats

So: 18.3433... = 18.3\overline{4} or 18.343 (rounded)

✔ Answer: 18.343 (rounded to 3 decimal places)

## ✔ Problem 8: 280.92 ÷ 92

```
3.053478...

Let’s compute:

280.92 ÷ 92 = ?

92 × 3 = 276 → remainder 4.92

4.92 ÷ 92 = 0.053478...

So total = 3.053478...

✔ Answer: 3.053 (rounded to 3 decimal places)
