Question

Chen completed the division problem below.

Answer 1

Answer:

The error is:

He multiplied the dividend by 100 instead of 10

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 1.926 ÷ 0.9 ⇒ means

  1.926 = 1926/1000 ⇒ dividend

  0.9 = 9/10 ⇒ divisor

* $\frac{1926}{1000}$ ÷ $\frac{9}{10}$

 $\frac{1926}{1000}$ × $\frac{10}{9}$

 $\frac{1926}{100}$ × $\frac{1}{9}$

∵ 1926/100 = 19.26 ⇒ dividend

∴ 19.26 ÷ 9 = 1926/100 ÷ 9

  19 ÷ 9 = 2 with remainder 1/9

  12 ÷ 9 = 1 with remainder 3/9

  36 ÷ 9 = 4 no remainder

∴ The quotient is 214/100 = 2.14
