Help me please. My mind is mush....
need to find the quotient of:
a. 3/4÷-12
b. 5/4÷2 2/3
c. 18 ÷4.6
d. 3.06 ÷0.22
a. 3/4 + 12 = 12 3/4
3/4 - 12 = -11 3/4
b. 5/4 divided by 8/3 = 5/4 * 3/8
c & d. Move decimal place for both to the right to make divisor a whole number. Do long division, making sure where your decimal place is.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Sorry, I misread "a" as + or -.
Use long division to divide 12 into .75, but dont'forget the minus sign.
(3/4)*(-1/12) = -3/48 = -1/16
18*10/46 = 180/46 = 90/23 = 3 21/23
thank you Damon and PsyDag
WRITE A DIVISION EXPRESSION IN WHICH 8 IS THE DIVISOR, 11 IS THE QUOTIENT AND 0 IS THE REMAINDER.
I can help you find the quotients for these division problems. Let's go through each one step by step:
a. 3/4 ÷ -12:
To divide a fraction by an integer, you can multiply the numerator of the fraction by the reciprocal of the integer. So, in this case, the reciprocal of -12 is -1/12. Multiply the numerator (3) by -1 and the denominator (4) by 1/12. The result is -3/48 or simplified, -1/16.
b. 5/4 ÷ 2 2/3:
To divide a fraction by a mixed number, first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. The improper fraction equivalent of 2 2/3 is (8/3). Then, multiply the numerator (5) by the reciprocal of the mixed number (3/8). The result is 15/32.
c. 18 ÷ 4.6:
To divide a whole number by a decimal, you can do long division. Start by dividing 18 by 4, which equals 4 with a remainder of 2. Now add a decimal point to the quotient (4.), and bring down the next digit (6) from the dividend to make 26. Divide 26 by 4, which equals 6 with a remainder of 2. Add another decimal place to the quotient (4.6), and bring down the remaining digit (0) from the dividend. 20 divided by 4 equals 5 without any remainder. So, the final quotient is 4.65.
d. 3.06 ÷ 0.22:
To divide two decimals, we can use long division as well. First, move the decimal point in the divisor (0.22) to the right until it becomes a whole number. We move it two places, which gives us a new divisor of 22. Now, move the decimal point in the dividend (3.06) the same number of places as we moved the decimal point in the divisor. In this case, we move it two places as well, giving us a new dividend of 306. Now, divide 306 by 22, and the quotient is 13.909090... However, since our original divisor had two decimal places, we should have two decimal places in our quotient as well. So, rounding to two decimal places, the final quotient is 13.91.
I hope that helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
