Solve Division Problem: Positive 1 ÷ 0.25

Question

(+1):(+0.25)= (+1):(+0.25)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Since we are dividing two positive numbers, the result will necessarily be a positive number:

+:+=+ +:+=+

First, let's convert the numbers to fractions:

1=11 1=\frac{1}{1}

0.25=25100 0.25=\frac{25}{100}

Now we have the following problem:

11:25100= \frac{1}{1}:\frac{25}{100}=

Let's convert the division to multiplication, and don't forget to switch the numerator and denominator:

11×10025= \frac{1}{1}\times\frac{100}{25}=

Let's combine everything into one problem:

1×1001×25= \frac{1\times100}{1\times25}=

Let's solve the multiplication in the numerator and denominator and we get:

10025=4 \frac{100}{25}=4

Answer

4 4
