Question #0d11d

Answer 1

`0.0998`

Explanation:

The problem is the decimal in the divisor. `1 div 10color(blue).02`

Always divide by a whole number.

Write is as a fraction and get rid of the 2 decimal places by multiplying the top and bottom by `100`

`1/10.02 xx100/100 = 100/1002`

Now use long division for `100 div 1002`

`color(white)(xxxxxx)0.0998`
`1002 |bar(100.000000)larr" start with " 10000div 1002`
`color(white)(xx,xxx)ul9018`
`color(white)(xx.xxxx)9820" "larr9820div 1002`
`color(white)(xx,xxxx)ul9018`
`color(white)(xx,xxxxx)8020" "larr 8020 div1002`
`color(white)(xx,xxxxx)ul8016`
`color(white)(xx,xxxxx..x)4`
