Answer 2

Answer:

7.8 and it would be 8 once rounded

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to divide 62.4 by 8

A simpler way to divide with a decimal, is to multiple both numbers by 10 until there are no decimals.

62.4*10 = 624          8*10 = 80

Now rewrite the equation

624/80

Then solve it

Once you have solved it, you should have gotten 7.8

When rounding a number, you need to make sure you round up and down correctly. To find out if you have to round up or down you need to check the number furthest to the right. This number is 8. Now if the number is 5 or more you round up. If the number is 4 or less, you round down. So since the number 8 is above 5, we round up. This would get us 10 but since the 8 is a decimal, we only get 1
