Question

How do you simplify `50000 div 0.001`?

Answer 1

`50,000,000`

Explanation:

When we are faced with a division by a decimal, change the denominator to a whole number.

`(50,000)/0.001 xx 1000/1000 = (50,000,000)/1`

=`50,000,000`

Notice that `1000/1000 =1` so by multiplying by 1, we are not changing the value of the fraction at all, just what it looks like.
