Make the divisor (1.41) a whole number and then divide normally.

To make the divisor a whole number, the easiest way is to keep multiplying it by 10 until it becomes a whole number; but remember, division is just like a fraction - whatever you do to the denominator (bottom) you must also do to the numerator (top) - so whatever you do to the divisor (the number by which you are dividing) you must do to the dividend (the number into which you are dividing):

0.5 ÷ 1.41 = 50 ÷ 141 (multiply both by 100)

= 50/141

≈ 0.3546
