I need help. I have a math problem that says "Divide 0.75 by 1.2.", do I put the 1.2 on the outside and the 0.75 on the inside or is it the other way around?
Yes, 1.2 is on the outside.
.75 / 1.2 = 7.5 / 12
----_0.62____________
12 | 7.5000
------7.2000

------- .2400

--------.0600
etc etc etc
actually just one etc
To divide 0.75 by 1.2, you should put 0.75 on the inside (the numerator) and 1.2 on the outside (the denominator). This is because when you divide, you are determining how many times the numerator (0.75) can be divided by the denominator (1.2). So the division should look like this:
0.75 ÷ 1.2
To solve this division problem, divide 0.75 by 1.2.
