Q. Divide.Write your answer in decimal form.36÷40=
Understand the problem: Understand the division problem.We need to divide 36 by 40. Since 36 is less than 40, the result will be less than 1. To find the decimal form, we can perform long division or recognize that this is the same as dividing by a power of 10 and shifting the decimal point accordingly.
Set up division: Set up the long division.We write 36 divided by 40 as a long division problem. Since 36 is smaller than 40, we will need to add a decimal point and zeros to 36 to divide it by 40.
Add decimal and zero: Add a decimal point and a zero to 36. We add a decimal point and a zero to 36, making it 36.0, and place a decimal point in the answer line directly above the decimal point in the number we are dividing.
Divide 40 into 360: Divide 40 into 360. We now see how many times 40 goes into 360. It goes 9 times (since 40×9=360). We write 9 on the answer line above the zero we added.
Subtract for remainder: Subtract to find the remainder.After multiplying 40 by 9, we subtract the result (360) from 360. The remainder is 0.
Write final answer: Write the final answer.Since there is no remainder, the final answer is 0.9.
