The question
Question: work out 4.8 ÷ 0.6.
4.8 ÷ 0.6
1 Divide
Dividing by a decimal is hard.
We move the point 1 place to the right in both numbers.
That is times 10 for both, so the answer stays the same.
4.8 × 10 = 48
0.6 × 10 = 6
4.8 becomes 48.
0.6 becomes 6.
= 48 ÷ 6
48 divided by 6 is 8.
= 8
So the answer is 8.
Answer
= 8
