Q. Divide.Write your answer in decimal form.64÷40=
Set up division problem: Set up the division problem in a way that can be easily calculated. We are dividing 64 by 40.
Perform division with remainder: Perform the division. Since 40 goes into 64 one time with a remainder, we can write 64 as 1 times 40 plus a remainder of 24. To continue the division, we can add a decimal point and a zero to the remainder to make it 240, and then see how many times 40 goes into 240.
Calculate division with decimal: Calculate how many times 40 goes into 240. Since 40×6=240, we can say that 40 goes into 240 exactly 6 times.
Combine whole and decimal for final answer: Combine the whole number and the decimal part to get the final answer. We have 1 from the first division and 0.6 from the second division, so the final answer is 1.6.
