Question

divide: 3.85 ÷ 1.4

Explanation:

Step1: Eliminate decimal in divisor

Multiply dividend and divisor by 10 to get $38.5 \div 14$

Step2: Perform long division

Calculate $38.5 \div 14$:
$14 \times 2 = 28$, $38.5 - 28 = 10.5$
$14 \times 0.7 = 9.8$, $10.5 - 9.8 = 0.7$
$14 \times 0.05 = 0.7$, $0.7 - 0.7 = 0$
Add the results: $2 + 0.7 + 0.05 = 2.75$

Answer:

2.75
