how do i work out 7.25/0.25 without using a calculator???

Move the decimal point in the divisor to make it a whole number >> 0.25 = 25

Since you have two decimal places in the divisor, move the decimal two places to the right in the dividend. >> 7.25 = 725

Now simply divide 25 into 725.

When you divide by 0.25, you can multiply the denominator by 4 instead.

So 7.25*4 = (7*4 + 0.25*4)=28 + 1 = 29

When you divide by 0.25, you can multiply the numerator by 4 instead.

So 7.25*4 = (7*4 + 0.25*4)=28 + 1 = 29

To work out 7.25 divided by 0.25 without using a calculator, you can use a method called long division. Here's how you can do it step by step:

1. Write down the dividend (the number being divided) 7.25 inside the division symbol ("÷").
2. Write down the divisor (the number you are dividing by) 0.25 outside the division symbol.
3. Start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (7) by the divisor (0.25). In this case, 7 divided by 0.25 equals 28, so you write 28 above the division symbol.
4. Multiply the divisor (0.25) by the quotient you just found (28). This calculation is 0.25 multiplied by 28, which equals 7.
5. Subtract the result from the previous step (7) from the first digit of the dividend (7). This calculation is 7 minus 7, which equals 0.
6. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (2) to the right of the 0.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 5 with the new number (0.2) obtained by bringing down the digit.
8. Divide 0.2 by 0.25. This time, the result is less than 1, so the quotient will be 0.
9. Multiply the divisor (0.25) by the quotient (0), which equals 0.
10. Subtract the result from the previous step (0) from the number being divided (0.2). This calculation is 0.2 minus 0, which equals 0.2.
11. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (5) to the right of the 0.
12. Repeat steps 3 to 5 with the new number (0.25) obtained by bringing down the digit.
13. Divide 0.25 by 0.25. The result is 1, so you write 1 above the division symbol.
14. Multiply the divisor (0.25) by the quotient (1), which equals 0.25.
15. Subtract the result from the previous step (0.25) from the number being divided (0.25). This calculation is 0.25 minus 0.25, which equals 0.
16. There are no more digits to bring down, so you have finished the division.

The final quotient is 28.1, which means 7.25 divided by 0.25 equals 28.1.
