Question

Can anyone please help me solve and show work for 0.7 ÷ 4 = ?

Answer 1

Move the decimal places of both numbers to the right by one, then divide normally.

Answer 2

For this case we have a division with decimals:

0.7 ÷ 4

This can be rewritten as:

$\frac{\frac{7}{10}}{4}$

By definition, we have the following:

$\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{c}=$

$\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{1}}=$

$\frac{(a * 1)}{(b * c)}=$

$\frac{a}{(b * c)}$

So,

$\frac{\frac{7}{10}}{4}=$

$\frac{\frac{7}{10}}{\frac{4}{1}}=$

$\frac{(7 * 1)}{(10 * 4)}=$

$\frac{7}{40}= 0.175$

Answer:

$\frac{7}{40}= 0.175$
