Question

Find: $37.8÷1.4$.

Answer 1

Compute the required value.

First, we will convert the decimal numbers to a fraction. That is

$37.8=\frac{378}{10}$ and $1.4=\frac{14}{10}$

So we can write that

$37.8÷1.4=\frac{378}{10}÷\frac{14}{10}$

$=\frac{378}{10}\times \frac{10}{14}$ [ Taking the reciprocal ]

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{378}{14} \\ =27 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of $37.8÷1.4$ is $27$.
