Question

Perform the following division. Show the multiplication you would do to make the divisor a whole number. Round the answer to three decimal places. (You may use a calculator.)
1.31 ÷ 0.47
1.)divisor multiplied by the proper power of ten = 2.) dividend multiplied by the proper power of ten =
3.)quotient

Answer 1

Answer:

1.) divisor multiplied by the proper power of ten = 131

2.) dividend multiplied by the proper power of ten =  47

3.) quotient = 2.787

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To make the divisor a whole number you should multiply it by $10^{2}$ = 100

And the divisor and the dividend must be multiplied by the same power of ten, that is $10^{2}$ = 100.

So, multiplyind the divisor by $10^{2}$ = 100:

$1.31*100=131$

And multiplyind the dividend by $10^{2}$ = 100:

$0.47*100=47$

2. Obtain the quotient:

Using the calculator you obtain the quotient between divisor and dividend:

$\frac{131}{47}=2.787$
