2.9

2007-01-26 08:54:20 · answer #1 · answered by Rick P 3 · 0 1

1.74 divided by 0.6 is 2.90.
In order to work this out , without using a calculator , it is necessary for you to equalise the figures , in order that you can carry out a simple 'long division' .
Since both figures are not whole numbers , you must first take the larger number ( 1.74 ) and make it into a whole number .
This is done by multiplying the figure by 100 , giving 174.00 .
Since you have multiplied the first number by 100 , you must do the same to the second number . This makes 0.6 into 60.
The sum you are then looking at is a 'long division' of 174 divided
by 60 .

60 / 174 . 00
Step One : 60 into 174 goes twice ( 2 ) with 54 left over.
Step two : Place 2 above the calculation and place the amount
of 2 x 60 = 120 , beneath the number 174 ;-
2.
60/174.00
120
Step Three : Take 120 from 174 ;-

2.
60/174.00
120 -
54
Step Four : Bring down the first nought after the decimal point ;-

2.
60/174.00
120 -
540

Step Five : Divide the resulting large number ( 540 ) by 60 , and
and the answer ( 9 ) is placed above the calculation
alongside the first figure ( 2 ) , but the other side of
the decimal point ;-

2.9
60/174.00
120 -
540
This is how you can achieve your desired goal , without the use of a calculator .

You need to multiply BOTH 1.74 and 0.6 by 10. If you are asked to divide by a decimal you need to make it a whole number first. If you had been asked to divide by 0.06 I would have multiplied by 100.

You now have 17.4 divided by 6.

Now use short division.

6 into 17 is 2 remainder 5 so carry the 5

6 into 54 goes 9 times

The answer is 2.9

In this type of division put the decimal point in the answer above the decimal point in the question.

1.74/0.6
Multiply top and bottom by 10 to give 17.4/6 = 2.9 upon dividing top by bottom.
You can rough check your answer by saying that 17.4 is close to 18 and 18/6 = 3 so your answer should be close to 3.
Answer of 2.9 is indeed close to 3.

Q=1.74/0.6 =10(1.74)/10(0.6) = 17.4 /6 =(17/6+0.4/6)=
=( 12/6 + 5/6 +0.4/6 )=(2+ 5.4/6)=(2+(0.1) 54/6)=
=(2+0.1 x9)=(2+0.9)=2.9

1.74 / 0.6
=1.74 / (6/10)
=1.74 * (10/6)
=17.4/6
=2.9

Let me know if you don't understand something.
