Question

What is 0.72 divided by 0.9

Answer 1

0.8 is the answer I believe

Answer 2

Step 1. Shift the decimal points of both 0.72 and 0.9 to the right by 1 decimal place.
(This is needed to convert 0.9 to 9, since long division must divide by a whole number.)

$\frac{7.2}{9}$

Step 2. Set up the long division.

  ______
9| 7 . 2

Step 3. Calculate 72 ÷ 9, which is 8. 
    
    0 . 8
  ______
9| 7 . 2
    7 . 2

Step 4. Therefore, 0.72 ÷ 0.9 = 0.8

0.8

Done! :)
