Question

1. 2.4 ÷ 8 =
2. 4.26 ÷ 3 =

Explanation:

Step1: Solve \(2.4\div8\)

We know that dividing a decimal by an integer, we can perform the division as with whole numbers and place the decimal point correctly. \(2.4\div8\), we can think of \(24\div8 = 3\), but since \(2.4\) has one decimal place, the result is \(0.3\). So \(2.4\div8=0.3\).

Step2: Solve \(4.26\div3\)

Divide each digit of \(4.26\) by \(3\). First, \(4\div3 = 1\) with a remainder of \(1\). Bring down the \(2\) to make \(12\), \(12\div3 = 4\). Then bring down the \(6\), \(6\div3=2\). So combining these, we get \(1.42\). So \(4.26\div3 = 1.42\).

Answer:

For \(2.4\div8\), the answer is \(0.3\); for \(4.26\div3\), the answer is \(1.42\)
