Divide as you would with whole numbers.

1. [tex]36 \div 1.2 =[/tex]

2. [tex]4.9 \div 0.7 =[/tex]

3. [tex]1.2 \div 36 =[/tex]

4. [tex]0.7 \div 4.9 =[/tex]

Answer :

Sure! Let's solve the division problems step by step:

1. 36 ÷ 1.2

To make this division easier, you can remove the decimal by multiplying both the dividend (36) and the divisor (1.2) by 10. This gives us:

- [tex]\(36 \times 10 = 360\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(1.2 \times 10 = 12\)[/tex]

Now, divide 360 by 12:

[tex]\[
360 \div 12 = 30
\][/tex]

So, [tex]\(36 \div 1.2 = 30\)[/tex].

2. 4.9 ÷ 0.7

Similarly, remove the decimal by multiplying both 4.9 and 0.7 by 10:

- [tex]\(4.9 \times 10 = 49\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(0.7 \times 10 = 7\)[/tex]

Now, divide 49 by 7:

[tex]\[
49 \div 7 = 7
\][/tex]

So, [tex]\(4.9 \div 0.7 = 7\)[/tex].

These are the solutions for the division problems:

- [tex]\(36 \div 1.2 = 30\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(4.9 \div 0.7 = 7\)[/tex]
