The question

Question: work out 0.9 ÷ 0.03.

0.9 ÷ 0.03

1 Divide

Dividing by a decimal is hard.

We move the point 2 places to the right in both numbers.

That is times 100 for both, so the answer stays the same.

0.9 × 100 = 90
0.03 × 100 = 3

0.9 becomes 90.

0.03 becomes 3.

= 90 ÷ 3

90 divided by 3 is 30.

= 30

So the answer is 30.

Answer
= 30
