How do you work out 4 divided by 0.04?

Answer 1

100

Answer 2

One way is to write it first as a fraction.

4/.04

Then you can multiply the top and bottom by 100 to clear the decimal.

400/4

Next cancel the 4

100/1

and anything divided by 1 is itself so the answer is 100.

You can also just do the division.

.04 goes into 4 100 times since you just move the decimal over the right 2 places when you multiply by 100
