Question

Select yes or no to indicate whether a zero must be written in the dividend to find the quotient

Answer 1

Answer:

2.25 divided by 0.6 : Yes and 5.2 divided by 8, 3.63 divided by 3, 71.1 divided by 9 : No

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that when two numbers are divided, they can be written in the form $\frac{p}{q}$, where p is the dividend and q is the divisor.

Now, when we divide 5.2 by 8, we can write $\frac{5.2}{8}$

Also, the division 3.63 by 3, can be written as $\frac{3.63}{3}$ = 1.21

Further, when we divide 71.1 by 3, we can write $\frac{71.1}{3}$ = 23.7

We can see that above divisions are easy divisions and do not require to write any type of 0 in the numerator.

Moreover, when we divide 2.25 by 0.6, we can write $\frac{2.25}{0.6}$ = $\frac{2.25\times 10}{6}$.

So, we get that in the last division, we need to write a zero in order to multiply the numerator with 10 for easy division.

Hence, 2.25 divided by 0.6 : Yes and 5.2 divided by 8, 3.63 divided by 3, 71.1 divided by 9 : No
