The correct equation of 146 ÷ 7 = 20857 is 146.0 ÷ 7.0 = 20.857

<h3>How to divide the decimals?</h3>

The equation is given as:

146 ÷ 7 = 20857

The above equation is wrong.

The equation can be rewritten as:

146.0 ÷ 7.0 = 20857

The significant digits in 146.0 and 7.0 are 3 and 1, respectively.

3 - 1 = 2

This means that

So, the decimal place in the result must be after the second digit.

So, we have:

146.0 ÷ 7.0 = 20.857

Using the above highlights, we have:

146 ÷ 0.7 = 208.57

1.46 ÷ 7 = 0.20857

14.6 ÷ 0.7 = 20.857

1460 ÷ 70 = 20.857

The reasoning behind the above equations is that the decimal position in the results is dependent on the decimal positions in the dividend and divisor

What is the area of a rectangle that has side lengths of 3/4 yard and 5/6 yard

Ahat [919]

We are asked to find the area of the rectangle that has side lengths of 3/4 yard and 5/6 yard.

We know that area of rectangle is width times length.

To find the area of the given rectangle we will multiply both side lengths as:

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Width}\times \text{Length}$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{3}{4}\text{ yard}\times\frac{5}{6}\text{ yard}$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{5}{6}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{5}{2}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{1\times5}{4\times2}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{5}{8}\text{ yard}^2$

Therefore, the area of the given rectangle would be $\frac{5}{8}$ square yards.
