Question

Which expression shows how to find the quotient of 4.8÷2?

Answer 1

Answer:

[A] (4 ÷ 2)+(0.8 ÷ 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the 2 into each digit, which must be in the same spot it was before:

Knowing that 8 in 4.8 ⇒ 0.8

Thus, you can infer that [B] is wrong

You also infer that [D]  and [C] is wrong because 4 is a whole number.

Thus, that left us with [A] 4 ÷ 2+0.8 ÷ 2 which shows the quotient of 4.8 ÷ 2

Hence, [A] 4 ÷ 2+0.8 ÷ 2 is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A

Simplification:

$\rightarrow (4 + 0.8) \div 2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [\text{4.8 can also be written as 4 + 0.8}]$

$\rightarrow \dfrac{(4 + 0.8)}{2} = \dfrac{4 + 0.8}{2}$

$\rightarrow \dfrac{4}{2} + \dfrac{0.8}{2}$

$\rightarrow (4 \div 2) + (0.8 \div 2) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{\large{[Option A}}]$
