break it down

Answer 1

Here is the simplified answer to this equation: 5 goes into 8 once, so you would bring the 5 on top and subtract 8, the first number, by 5. The answer is three. Bring down the 3 next to the 8. You now have 33. 5 goes into 33 6 times, which equals 30. Write 30 underneath 33 and bring the 6 to the top next to the 1. Bring down the 3 next to the last 3. You now have 33. 5 goes into 33 (once again) 6 times. Write 6 on top next to the last 6. 33 - 30 = 3. 5 cannot go into 3 since it is larger, so 3/5 you write 3/5 as a decimal next to 166 at the top (3 at the bottom and 5 is the larger number at the divisor spot). The decimal is 0.6. Therefore, your answer should be 166.6. To make sure, multiply 166.6 x 5. Hopefully, you get 833.
