Question

Find: $4.8÷10$

Answer 1

Simplify by shifting decimal:

As we know, when a decimal number is divided by a multiple of $10$, the decimal shifts to the left.

Therefore,

$4.8÷10=\frac{4.8}{10}$ $\mathrm{[}\mathrm{\because }\mathrm{}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{÷}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{=}\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{b}}\mathrm{]}$

$\Rightarrow 4.8÷10=0.48$

Hence the value of $\mathbf{4}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{8}\mathbf{÷}\mathbf{10}$ is $\mathbf{0}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{48}$.
