Answer 1

1. 5514 divided by 82 you have to find out how many times 82 goes into 551 (because it won't go into 5 or 55 now 82 goes into 551 6 times and you multiply 82 and 6 to get 492 (which is the closest you can get to 551 without going over) now you subtract 551-492 to get 59 now you carry down your 4 and add it to the end of the equation and your number changes into 594 now 82 times 7 is 574 when you subtract you get 20 now you add a decimal point and you carry down the 0 to make your number 200 now you do 82 times 2 to get 164 when you subtract you get 36 now you carry down the 0 and get 360 so you multiply 82 by 4 to get 328 so your answer is 67.24.Hope this helps. I can add a picture if you need one.
