rewrite the problem so that the divisor is a whole number: 8.5/2.3
85/23
To rewrite the problem 8.5 divided by 2.3 move the decimal one to the right then divide them and one you have your answer divide by 10.
Hope it helped you out a bit :)
move decimal and that is your whole number
sorry this answer is incorrect am sorry so much
How can u rewrite the problem so that the divisor is the whole number
4.7 divided by 13.6
To rewrite the problem so that the divisor is a whole number (an integer), you can multiply both the dividend and divisor by the same number in order to make it a whole number.
In this case, the divisor 2.3 has a decimal part, so we need to find a common multiple that will eliminate the decimal. Since 10 is a common multiple of both 2.3 and 1 (because 10 divided by 2 equals 5), we can multiply both the dividend and divisor by 10.
8.5/2.3 can be rewritten as (8.5 * 10) / (2.3 * 10).
This gives us 85/23, where the new divisor (23) is a whole number.
