Question

Find: $3.96÷4$

Answer 1

State the given expression and simplify:

The given expression is $3.96÷4$.

Then, $3.96÷4=\frac{396}{100}÷4$ $\left[\because 3.96=\frac{396}{100}\right]$

$\Rightarrow 3.96÷4=\frac{396}{100}\times \frac{1}{4}$ $\left[\because \mathrm{the}\mathrm{reciprocal}\mathrm{of}4=\frac{1}{4}\right]$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 3.96÷4=\frac{99}{100}\times \frac{1}{1} \\ \Rightarrow 3.96÷4=\frac{99}{100} \\ \Rightarrow 3.96÷4=0.99 \end{gathered}$$

Hence the value of $\mathbf{3}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{96}\mathbf{÷}\mathbf{4}$ is $\mathbf{0}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{99}$.
