Question

Can you divide 2 by 9? Explain your response.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.22222222222

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide two by nine, you need to use your long division skills. Unfortunately, this interface doesn't lend itself well to showing you the actual long division problem, so try to follow the steps with me.

draw a division symbol (should look like half a rectangle). Put the 9 in front of the rectangle and a 2 inside it. Make the top of the rectangle long.

Note that the result of the division 2÷9 is not an exact value and is equivalent to recurring decimal 0.22... (which has 2 as the period).
