Question

How do you find the quotient of 0.72 divided by 0.915?

Answer 1

`0.78688...`

Explanation:

To divide rational numbers, simply shift the divisor's and the dividend's decimal point until the divisor becomes a whole number. Then proceed with dividing the numbers

For the case of `0.72` and `0.915`, we need to shift the decimal point 3 places to the right for `0.915` to become whole.

`0.72 // 0.915`

`=> 720 // 915`

When the numbers are divided, we should get the above answer.
