How do you divid 00.5 diviser by 00.57?

Answer 1

To divide by a decimal, make the divisor a whole number by moving the decimal point to the right; the dividend must also be changed by moving its decimal point the same number of digits to the right.

So to divide 0.5 by 0.57, make the divisor 0.57 into 57 by moving the decimal point two digits to the right, then also move the decimal point of the dividend (0.5) two places to the right to give 50. Thus:

0.5 / 0.57 = 50 / 57

~= 0.88
