Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure my way is going to be any quicker or better. Let's take an example.

Suppose you start with 456

Put a decimal at the end of the 6.   You get 456.

Shift the decimal to the left one place           45.6

Divide by 2

22.8 (done mentally)

Note: dividing by 2 is easier than dividing by 5. Or multiplying by 5 for that matter.

Check the result.

456 * 5/100 =2280 / 100.

Shift a decimal 2 places to the left.

22.80 which agrees with your result.

Just take 10% of the number and divide that by 2. Taking 10% of a number is easy, for example, 10% of 100 is 10, 10% of 45 is 4.5 - you simply move the decimal point over 1. Once you take the 10% just divide it by two and you get 5%.

How should this model be completed to represent 642/11 ??<br><br> Enter the answer in the box.
Rashid [163]

Model be completed to represent 642/11 is 29.1818181818

\frac{642}{11} = 58.3636363636

58.3636363636 = 583.636363636 to the nearest tenth

58.3636363636 = 58.36 to the nearest hundredth

58.3636363636 = 58.364 to the nearest thousandth

= 0 to the nearest tenth

= 0 to the nearest hundredth

= 0 to the nearest thousandth

Other Divisions Math homework are

642 divide by half plus 20

(\frac{642}{2}) + 20 = 341

642 divide by half plus 40

(\frac{642}{2}) + 40 = 361

\frac{642}{11} divided by 2

(\frac{642}{11}) ÷ 2 = 29.1818181818

Division is  one among  the four basic operations of arithmetic, the  ways in which  numbers are combined to make new numbers.  the opposite  operations are addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

At an elementary level the division of two natural numbers is, among other possible interpretations,  the method  of calculating the number of times one number is contained within another.7  This number of times  needn't  be an integer.  for instance , if 20 apples are divided evenly between 4 people, everyone receives 5 apples (see picture).

The division with remainder or Euclidean division of two natural numbers provides an integer quotient, which  is that the  number of times the second number is completely contained in the first number, and a remainder, which  is that the  part of the first number that remains, when  within the  course of computing the quotient, no further full chunk of  the dimensions  of the second number can be allocated.  for instance , if 21 apples are divided between 4 people, everyone receives 5 apples again, and 1 apple remains.

For division to always yield one number  instead of  a quotient plus a remainder, the natural numbers must be extended to rational numbers or real numbers.

Mary got a piggy bank as a gift with X cents in it. If she saves Y cents each month for a year, how much money will she have in
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The total money she saved in a year = X + 12Y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary got a piggy bank as a gift.

Sum of money in the piggy bank while she got it as a gift = X cents

Sum of money she saved = Y cents per month

1 year = 12 months

So, sum of money she saved in 1 year = Y × 12

= 12Y

Hence, the total money she saved in a year = X + 12Y.
