How do you find the quotient of 5.55 divided by 0.15?

Answer 1

If the decimals are giving you a problem this is a way round it!

`5.55/0.15=37`

Explanation:

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms.

`color(green)(5.55/0.15color(red)(xx1) color(white)("d")->color(white)("d")5.55/0.15 color(red)(xx100/100)`

`color(green)(color(white)("dddddddd")->color(white)("dddd") 555/15`

For multiply or divide; what you do the top you do to the bottom.

`color(green)(color(white)("dddddddd")->color(white)("dddd") (555-:5)/(15-:5) = 111/3 = 37`
