Question

What is some work for 34.1 divided by 5.5

Answer 1

Answer:

6.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to write the question out as you would normally, to divide two whole numbers.

5.5⟌34.1  (the bar should go all the way across but I can't do that here)

       06.2

5.5⟌34.1

      -33

          11

5.5 does not go into 3, so we move over a place and see how many times it goes into 34.

6x5.5 is 33, so that's close enough.

We subtract 33 from 34 to get 1, and then bring the decimal point up to the answer.

11/5.5 is 2, but it's actually .2 because we brought the decimal point up.
