Exercise #4

2.6:0.1= 2.6:0.1=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the division problem 2.6÷0.12.6 \div 0.1, we can simplify the division by eliminating the decimal in the divisor:

  • Multiply both the dividend 2.62.6 and the divisor 0.10.1 by 10 to get rid of the decimal in the divisor. This gives 2.6×10=262.6 \times 10 = 26 and 0.1×10=10.1 \times 10 = 1.
  • Now, the division simplifies to 26÷126 \div 1.
  • Dividing 2626 by 11 gives us 2626.

Thus, the solution to the division problem 2.6÷0.12.6 \div 0.1 is 2626.

Exercise #11

0.64:0.8= 0.64:0.8=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of dividing 0.640.64 by 0.80.8, we need to convert the decimals to whole numbers to simplify the process. Here's a step-by-step solution:

  • Step 1: Notice both numbers are decimals. Our goal is to make them whole numbers to simplify the division.
  • Step 2: The number 0.640.64 can be written as 64100\frac{64}{100} and 0.80.8 as 810\frac{8}{10}. To eliminate decimals, multiply both numbers by 100 (the larger factor of 10 to ensure both numbers become integers): 0.64×100=640.64 \times 100 = 64 and 0.8×100=800.8 \times 100 = 80.
  • Step 3: Perform the division using these whole numbers: 6480\frac{64}{80}.
  • Step 4: Simplify 6480\frac{64}{80}. The greatest common divisor of 64 and 80 is 16. Thus, dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 16, we get 64÷1680÷16=45\frac{64 \div 16}{80 \div 16} = \frac{4}{5}.
  • Step 5: Convert 45\frac{4}{5} to decimal form. To do this, divide 4 by 5, which gives us 0.80.8.

Therefore, the solution to the problem 0.64÷0.80.64 \div 0.8 is 0.80.8.

Answer

0.8 0.8

Exercise #12

0.18:0.3= 0.18:0.3=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Convert 0.3 0.3 (the divisor) into a whole number by multiplying both 0.18 0.18 and 0.3 0.3 by 10.
  • Step 2: Perform the division with whole numbers.

Let's perform the steps:

Step 1: Multiply both 0.18 0.18 and 0.3 0.3 by 10 to get:

(0.18×10)=1.8 (0.18 \times 10) = 1.8

(0.3×10)=3 (0.3 \times 10) = 3

Step 2: Now divide the whole numbers:

1.83=0.6 \frac{1.8}{3} = 0.6

Thus, the division of 0.18 0.18 by 0.3 0.3 results in 0.6 0.6 .

Answer

0.6 0.6

Exercise #13

1.6:0.2= 1.6:0.2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 1.6÷0.2 1.6 \div 0.2 , we will eliminate the decimals by converting the numbers into whole numbers and performing the division.

  • Step 1: Convert the decimals to whole numbers. Multiply both 1.6 and 0.2 by 10 to remove the decimal places.
    1.6×10=16 1.6 \times 10 = 16 and 0.2×10=2 0.2 \times 10 = 2 .
  • Step 2: Perform integer division. Now divide the two whole numbers obtained:
    16÷2=8 16 \div 2 = 8 .
  • Step 3: Verify the result. Verify by direct division using decimals:
    Perform 1.6÷0.2 1.6 \div 0.2 which is equivalent to 162=8\frac{16}{2} = 8.

The calculation confirms that our approach is correct, ensuring accuracy both in removing decimals and dividing.

Therefore, the solution to 1.6÷0.2 1.6 \div 0.2 is 8 8 .

Exercise #14

15.5:0.5= 15.5:0.5=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:

15.5×10=155 15.5 \times 10 = 155
0.5×10=5 0.5 \times 10 = 5

Step 2: Divide the resulting whole numbers:
155÷5=31 155 \div 5 = 31

Step 3: We check the result against the choices. The result 31 31 corresponds to choice 1.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 31 31 .

0.4:0.2= 0.4:0.2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 0.4÷0.2 0.4 \div 0.2 , we can follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Convert the division of decimals into a division of whole numbers by multiplying both the dividend (0.4) and the divisor (0.2) by 10.
  • Step 2: This operation results in dividing 4 by 2 (since 0.4×10=4 0.4 \times 10 = 4 and 0.2×10=2 0.2 \times 10 = 2 ).
  • Step 3: Perform the division 4÷2 4 \div 2 , which equals 2.

Thus, the result of dividing 0.4 0.4 by 0.2 0.2 is 2\boxed{2}.

Exercise #16

0.49:0.7= 0.49:0.7=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the division of two decimal numbers 0.490.49 and 0.70.7, we will follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Convert the decimals to fractions. Since 0.490.49 has two decimal places, it can be written as 49100\frac{49}{100}. Similarly, 0.70.7, which has one decimal place, can be written as 710\frac{7}{10}.
  • Step 2: Set up the division of fractions: 49100÷710\frac{49}{100} \div \frac{7}{10}.
  • Step 3: Recall that division by a fraction is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal. Thus, we rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of 710\frac{7}{10}:

49100×107\frac{49}{100} \times \frac{10}{7}.

  • Step 4: Multiply the numerators and the denominators:

49×10100×7=490700\frac{49 \times 10}{100 \times 7} = \frac{490}{700}.

  • Step 5: Simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 490490 and 700700. The GCD is 7070.

After dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 7070, we have:

490÷70700÷70=710\frac{490 \div 70}{700 \div 70} = \frac{7}{10}.

Thus, the result of 0.49÷0.70.49 \div 0.7 is 710\frac{7}{10}, which is 0.70.7.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 0.70.7.

Answer

Exercise #17

0.36:0.06= 0.36:0.06=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the division problem 0.36÷0.06 0.36 \div 0.06 , we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Eliminate the decimals:

Both 0.36 0.36 and 0.06 0.06 are decimal numbers. In order to make the division easier, multiply both numbers by 100 to remove the decimals:

  • 0.36×100=36 0.36 \times 100 = 36
  • 0.06×100=6 0.06 \times 100 = 6

Converting the problem, we now have 36÷6 36 \div 6 .

  • Step 2: Perform the division:

Now divide 36 36 by 6 6 :

36÷6=6 36 \div 6 = 6

Therefore, the solution to the problem 0.36÷0.06 0.36 \div 0.06 is 6 6 .

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 0.1÷0.020.1 \div 0.02, let's follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Eliminate the decimals by multiplying both the dividend and divisor by 100 to convert them to whole numbers.
  • Step 2: Convert 0.10.1 to 1010 and 0.020.02 to 22 by multiplication.
  • Step 3: Perform the division 10÷210 \div 2.

Now, let's proceed with the calculations:
- When we multiply 0.10.1 by 100, we get 1010. Similarly, multiplying 0.020.02 by 100 gives us 22.
- Next, we divide 1010 by 22:
10÷2=510 \div 2 = 5.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 5 5 .
