Answer: The number is 0,675
Step-by-step explanation:
Using long division you must divide the two numbers one by one.
Step 1: Because the numerator (27) is smaller than the denominator (40), you put the zero (0) first to add one zero to de right of the numerator.
270 / 40
Step 2: You will find the number that you can multiplicate 40 to get a number smaller than 270.
40 × 6 = 240
6 its the first number after the comma.
Then: 270 - 240 = 30 (the rest)
Step 3: Add another zero to 30 like you do in step 1 and do step 2 again
40 × 7 = 280
Then 300 - 280 = 20 (the rest)
Step 4: Now you have 20, add a zero and you have 200, that number its a multiple of 40, so your division finally is:
40 × 5 = 200
Now you have the three numbers after the comma of your result.
