Question

Carry the following divisions.

(2) 31.05 ÷ 05.

Answer 1

$\frac{31.05\times 10}{0.5\times 10}=\frac{310.5}{5}$

31.05 ÷ 0.5 is the same as 310.5 ÷ 5.

Thus, the division can be performed as:

$$\begin{gathered} 62.1 \\ 5\overline{)310.5} \\ \underline{30\downarrow } \\ 10 \\ \underline{10\downarrow } \\ 05 \\ \underline{5} \\ 0 \end{gathered}$$
