Question

Find: $36÷0.2$.

Answer 1

Compute the required value.

First, convert the decimal number into a fraction. That is

$0.2=\frac{2}{10}$

So we can write that

$36÷0.2=36÷\frac{2}{10}$

$=36\times \frac{10}{2}$ [ Taking the reciprocal ]

$$\begin{gathered} =18\times 10 \\ =180 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of $36÷0.2$ is $180$.
