Exercises Divide
Question 1.
Answer: 0.5
The quotient is 0.5
Question 2.

Answer: 0.589
Explanation:
Change the divisor 0.56 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 2 places to the right.
33 ÷ 56 = 0.589
0.33 ÷ 0.56 = 0.589
Question 4.
Answer: 0.039
Explanation:
Change the divisor 0.76 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 2 places to the right.
