Question

divide.
5\overline{)57.5}

Explanation:

Step1: Divide the whole number part

Divide 57 by 5. 5 times 11 is 55, so we write 11 above the 7 in 57. Subtract 55 from 57: \(57 - 55 = 2\).

Step2: Bring down the decimal part

Bring down the 5 (from 57.5) to make it 25. Now we have 25 to divide by 5.

Step3: Divide the decimal part

5 times 5 is 25, so we write 5 after the decimal point (since we're now dealing with the decimal part) above the 5 in 57.5. Subtract 25 from 25: \(25 - 25 = 0\).

Step4: Combine the results

The whole number part was 11 and the decimal part is 0.5, so combining them gives 11.5.

Answer:

11.5
