Question

Divide:
(i) 142.45 by 10
(ii) 54.25 by 10
(iii) 3.45 by 10
(iv) 0.57 by 10
(v) 0.043 by 10
(vi) 0.004 by 10

Answer 1

(i)
$$\begin{gathered} \frac{142.45}{10}=\frac{14245}{100\times 10} \\ =\frac{14245}{1000} \\ =14.245 \end{gathered}$$


(ii)
$$\begin{gathered} \frac{54.25}{10}=\frac{5425}{100\times 10} \\ =\frac{5425}{1000} \\ =5.425 \end{gathered}$$


(iii)
$$\begin{gathered} \frac{3.45}{10}=\frac{345}{100\times 10} \\ =\frac{345}{1000} \\ =0.345 \end{gathered}$$

(iv)
$$\begin{gathered} \frac{0.57}{10}=\frac{57}{1000} \\ =0.057 \end{gathered}$$

(v)
$$\begin{gathered} \frac{0.043}{10}=\frac{43}{10\times 1000} \\ =0.0043 \end{gathered}$$

(vi)
$$\begin{gathered} \frac{0.004}{10}=\frac{4}{10\times 1000} \\ =0.0004 \end{gathered}$$
