you move the decimal in .2 to make it 2 and make 7 70; 2 goes into 7 3 times which gives you 6 on top and 10 on the bottom, 2 goes into ten 5 times so your final answer would be 35
7 divided by 0.2 is [tex] \frac{7}{0.2} [/tex] ( Note that 7 alone is 7.0 , 0 is not significant )
____ 0.2 | 7.0 Since it is a division by a decimal value, you can remove the decimal from 0.2 to make it 2 and remove the decimal from 7.0 to make it 70 35 2 | 70 How many 2's are there in 7, 2 × 3 = 6 - 6 10 How many 2's are there in 10, 2 × 5 = 10 - 10 0
7 divided by 0.2 is the same as 70 divided by 2 Therefore, the answer is 35
