Question

I need to be able to show my work for this question:

32.436/0.6

Answer 1

Start by multiplying 0.6 and 32.436 by 1000 to make them whole numbers. This is still equivalent to the originial problem.

0.6 * 1000 = 600

32.436 * 1000 = 32436

Next, take those numbers and use long division.

54.06 <---- Result

600 | 32436

-3000 <---- 600 goes into 3243 five times

--------

2436 <---- 600 goes into 2436 four times

- 2400

--------

36

Remainer: 36/600 <---- This equates to .06

Answer 2

10/10 = 1

Multiply the numerator (upstairs) by 10, and the denominator (downstairs) by 10. The denominator (divisor) is now a whole number, and you can proceed as if you were performing integer division:

Note that the problem looks different, but is mathematically equivalent.

6 | 324.360

6 does not go into 3, but it does go into 32.

6 | 324.360

24.360

Repeat with your new number:

6 | 24.360

24

.360

06

6 | .360

.36

--

0

Repeat with this new number, and you get 0.

0

6 | 0

-

0

Put these numbers together in order:

54.060

To check, multiply together 6 * 54.060 = 324.360

You can put the pieces together as steps under the original problem. I'll try to post this, although this editing system makes that more difficult than it should be.

Answer 3

Hello. It is hard to show the work in this format.

1. We cannot divide a number by decimal.
2. 32.436 *10 / (0.6 *10 ) = 324.36 / 6
