The question
Question: work out −6.3 ÷ 0.9.
−6.3 ÷ 0.9
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.
−6.3 × 10 = −63
0.9 × 10 = 9
−6.3 becomes −63.
0.9 becomes 9.
= −63 ÷ 9
Minus divided by plus is minus.
63 divided by 9 is 7.
So we get −7.
= −7
So the answer is −7.
Answer
= −7
