Question

Explaine how you can use inverse operations to find 1.8 divided by 3

Answer 1

We can use inverse operations to find 1.8 divided by 3, because we know that if 1.8/3 = x, then 3x = 1.8. That means that some number multiplied by 3 will equal 1.8.We know that 3*1 = 3. So the number has to be less than 1, but greater than 0. We know that 3*6 = 18, so that means 3*0.6 = 1.8. Therefore, 1.8 divided by 3 is 0.6. Also, I have attached a more detailed way to find what 'x' is without having to use inverse operations.

$\frac{1.8}{3} = x\\\\\frac{1.8\times 10}{3\times 10} = x\\\\\frac{18}{30} = x\\\\\frac{6\times 3}{6\times 5} = x\\\\\frac{3}{5} = x\\\\\boxed{\bf{x=\frac{3}{5} = 0.6}}$
