Question

How do you write in simplest form given `108div(-0.9)`?

Answer 1

`-120`

Explanation:

Try not to have to divide by a decimal. Luckily that can be changed.

`108/-0.9 xx10/10 = 1080/-9`

There is one decimal place in the denominator, so multiplying by 10 will make a whole number.

Multiplying by `10/10`is the same as multiplying by `1`, so while we might change what the fractions looks like, it still means the same.

Now divide/simplify as usual.

`1080/-9 = -120`
