How do you divide decimals

Mathematics
2 answers:
lesya [120]3 years ago

Answer:

Here’s one way to do it.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Example</em>: Divide 0.539 by 0.11

      <u>         </u>                      

0.11)0.539

<em>Step 1</em>. Move the decimal points so the divisor is a whole number.

Move them two spaces to the right in both divisor and dividend.

   <u>       </u>

11)53.9

<em>Step 2.</em> Do the long division as usual.

The only difference is that you put the decimal point in the quotient directly above the one in the dividend.

     <u>4.9</u>

11)53.9

     <u>44 </u>  

        99

        <u>99 </u>

          0

0.539 ÷ 0.11 = 4.9

If the divisor is not a whole number, move decimal point to right to make it a whole number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.

Divide as usual. ...

Put decimal point directly above decimal point in the dividend.

Why is the ? in the proportion below equal to QR? Explain why.
Artyom0805 [142]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A) SQ is the geometric mean between the hypotenuse and the closest adjacent segment of the hypotenuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. That means corresponding sides have the same ratio (are proportional).

Here, SQ is the hypotenuse of ΔSQT and the short side of ΔRQS.

Those two triangles are similar, so we can write ...

  (short side)/(hypotenuse) = QT/SQ = QS/RQ

In the above proportion, we have used the vertices in the same order they appear in the similarity statement (ΔSQT ~ ΔRQS). Of course, the names can have the vertices reversed:

  QT/SQ = SQ/QR . . . . . QS = SQ, RQ = QR

__

When this is rewritten to solve for SQ, we get ...

  SQ² = QR·QT

  SQ = √(QR·QT) . . . . SQ (short side) is the geometric mean of the hypotenuse and the short segment.

The answer would either be (-3,5), (5,-3), (9,-7), or (-7,9). I forget where the <em>x </em>and <em>y</em> go, but those are your answer choices.

3 9/100 + 2 8/10 = ? ?/100<br><br> help its 4 a friend!!!
ser-zykov [4K]
For the fraction 28/10,
times 10 at 28 and 10,(to get the same denominator"100")
28×10=280
10×10=100

Thus,
28/10 become 280/100

We can plus the number above the denominator"100",which is 39 and 280.It is because they have achieved a same denominator.
39/100+280/100
=(39+280)/100
=319/100

Estimate the part of the garden that is planted with tomatoes. Explain how you decided.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Therefore tomatoes\hspace{0.1cm} patch = \frac{3}{8}\hspace{0.1cm}of\hspace{0.1cm} garden

Step-by-step explanation:

i) from the figure shown pumpkins and lettuce seem to make up half of the of the garden

ii) the other half of the garden seems to be tomatoes and cucumber.

iii) tomatoes seems to be 3 times that of cucumber.

iv) therefore we can say that tomatoes would make up three fourths of half of the garden which would equal to three eights of the garden.

tomatoes\hspace{0.1cm} patch = \frac{3}{8}\hspace{0.1cm}of\hspace{0.1cm} garden
