Perform the following division. Show the multiplication you would do to make the divisor a whole number. Round the answer to three decimal places. (You may use a calculator.)
1.31 ÷ 0.47
1.)divisor multiplied by the proper power of ten = 2.) dividend multiplied by the proper power of ten =
3.)quotient

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.) divisor multiplied by the proper power of ten = 131

2.) dividend multiplied by the proper power of ten =  47

3.) quotient = 2.787

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To make the divisor a whole number you should multiply it by [tex]10^{2}[/tex] = 100

And the divisor and the dividend must be multiplied by the same power of ten, that is [tex]10^{2}[/tex] = 100.

So, multiplyind the divisor by [tex]10^{2}[/tex] = 100:

[tex]1.31*100=131[/tex]

And multiplyind the dividend by [tex]10^{2}[/tex] = 100:

[tex]0.47*100=47[/tex]

2. Obtain the quotient:

Using the calculator you obtain the quotient between divisor and dividend:

[tex]\frac{131}{47}=2.787[/tex]

Answer:

1) 47

2) 131

3) 2.787
