Question

find the quotient. annex zeros as needed so that you dont have a remainder. \\(5\overline{)371.2}\\) be sure to include the decimal point in your answer!

Explanation:

Step1: Divide 3 by 5 (not possible, so consider 37)

37 ÷ 5 = 7, remainder 2 (since 5×7 = 35, 37 - 35 = 2)

Step2: Bring down 1, making it 21

21 ÷ 5 = 4, remainder 1 (5×4 = 20, 21 - 20 = 1)

Step3: Bring down 2, making it 12

12 ÷ 5 = 2, remainder 2 (5×2 = 10, 12 - 10 = 2)

Step4: Annex a zero, making it 20

20 ÷ 5 = 4, remainder 0 (5×4 = 20, 20 - 20 = 0)

Step5: Combine the results with the decimal point

Putting it all together: 74.24 (since we had 7 (tens place), 4 (ones place), then decimal, 2 (tenths), 4 (hundredths))

Answer:

74.24
