Question

The quotient below is shown without the decimal point. Use number sense to place the decimal point correctly.

Answer 1

Answer:

35.8

Step-by-step explanation:

                $\frac{340.1}{9.5}$  = 358

 We know that our answer can never be greater than 358 since the dividend

is 340.1 and the divisor is 9.5;

  Also,

  Both values are to one decimal places and we can use this to solve the problem;

  9 can divide 340 in about 37 place with a remainder of 7,

    So, it is appropriate to make the solution 35.8
