#6.31 div 2 = 3.155#

Explanation:

Estimating the answer will give an indication of where the decimal point must be.

#600 div 200 = 3#

we can work with the division by a hundred part first.

#(631div 100)/(200 div 100) = 6.31/2#

Now just divide by 2.

#6.31 div 2 = 3.155#

The answer is just as we estimated.
