To divide 44 by 0.5, you simply perform the division as you would with whole numbers. Here's the work:
44 ÷ 0.5
To divide by a decimal, you move the decimal point of the divisor (0.5) to the right until it becomes a whole number, and do the same to the dividend (44).
0.5 becomes 5 when we move the decimal one place to the right. To keep the calculation consistent, we also need to move the decimal point of the dividend one place to the right.
44 ÷ 0.5 is equivalent to 440 ÷ 5.
Now, divide 440 by 5:
440 ÷ 5 = 88
So, 44 divided by 0.5 equals 88.
Therefore, 44/0.5 =88.
