Given:
2.75 divided by 2.25
Solution:
In dividing a number, we must first identify the dividend and the divisor. In the given case, the dividend is 2.75, and it is divided by 2.25 which is the divisor. If the answer or quotient is a whole number, this means that both numbers are factors of one another, if not, then the quotient will have a remainder or decimal.
= 2.75/2.25
= 1.2222 (repeating)
We can convert the given decimal to mixed number by focusing first on the decimal part. Noticed that the value 22222 is repeating thus, we equate it as a whole number 2, then divide it by the 10 - 1 place value since we choose to have 2, if we have 22, then we can divide it by 100 -1, and so on. Subtracting 1 to 10 will make the decimal repeating, therefore we can write it as,
= 2/9
Add the whole number in front.
= 1 2/9
Final answer:
= 1 2/9
